I have a trigger where I want to log the current Logged in user. Is there a server level variable that captures this info and if so what is it?

Let me refer you to Books On Line

ms-help://MS.SQLCC.v9/MS.SQLSVR.v9.en/udb9/html/e31254f1-6c41-4cbf-98b5-54daa7f81fd9.htm

and you can learn how to use the user's login name or user name.

If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

That link is not an html link.

Sorry about that link being faulty. Use books on line and search for:

CURRENT_USER (Transact-SQL)

Functions That Return User Names and User IDs

SESSION_USER (Transact-SQL)

USER (Transact-SQL)

USER_NAME (Transact-SQL)

Believe that one of these functions will return what you are looking for.

Again, sorry about that link being faulty.

The above link refers to SQL Server 2008 Books Online (October 2009)

and the user has posted his/her question to a SQL 2005 forum.

suser_sname() - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174427%28SQL.90%29.aspx

user_name() - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188014%28SQL.90%29.aspx

There are related functions in those links as well. Pick the one that suits your needs.

True but the differences are pretty marginal for this...
