You can use this code:

With CurrentDb.QueryDefs("MyPass")
  .SQL = "exec spMyProc '" & getUserName() & "'"

Because getUserName() is a local VBA function, then you need to pre-evaluate the actual string sent to SQL server. As above shows using a saved pass-though is "handy" since you don't have to deal with connection strings etc.
