Shilpa,

Here is your best option - click the link below. You can thank the author for this - Mike Spragg. Don't forget to give the article kudos after you install the bundle. The current bundle actually catches machine name and windows user ID, too. The screen shots are kind of old, but the code bundle is up to date.

Check out Application.Users("UserID").UserType

Quoting from the Developer's Reference:

UserType - String Type of user. Can be one of the following values:
utAdmin (0)
utWorkGroup (1)
utRemote (2)
utWebOnly (3)
utWebViewer (4)
utConcurrent (5)
utUnknown (6)
utRetired (7)
utTemplate (8).
ReportsTo String ID of the user’s manager.

If {USERSECURITY.TYPE} = 'N' then 'Network'
If {USERSECURITY.TYPE} = 'M' then 'Remote'
If {USERSECURITY.TYPE} = 'R' then 'Retired'

...and so on

As others have mentioned, you can check the type of user to see what type of user it is, however, if what you're after is to know whether the current database is a remote or the main network database, you can check the following:

Check the DBTYPE field on the SYSTEMINFO table where SYSTEMINFOID = 'PRIMARY'.

If 1 Then Main database
If 2 Then Remote database (ie: remote user)
If 3 Then Remote Office database
