Remarks

If the current object is a Package, it must be in the Open status to set the value.

If the current object is a User, this property is the short name of the user as stored in the user's Meridian account information and is read-only. This property can be used to specify the recipient's email address and either an empty string or no value set in the Address property. If an email address is specified in Name, it must be surrounded with carets (<>). When used with Microsoft Outlook, the Name property may contain the user's full name or last name and Outlook will attempt to resolve the name to the email address in the default address book.

Meridian user names can be shown in different formats determined by the UserNameFormatserver registry setting.
