Lisa, The list seems to be terribly slow these days so I took the liberty to CC you my response..
Did you check the permissions on the Active Link? Are you trying this on the thick or the thin client? Did you flush the Mid-Tier cache if you are trying the thin client? I am assuming your user names are not mixed case with no exceptions??? You either have all upper or all lower? Try this if you still haven't managed to get the approach you tried to work.. Set a temporary field say ztmpLoginName to UPPER($USER$) and then compare it in another Active Link to the actual value of $USER$.. if the value is equal, then your login name is all Upper.. if it is not equal then its all lower.. This however will fail if you have Mixed case login names..
