Formula Field from ID?

Hi Everyone,

I added a custom formula field to the cases object.  I want to show the account owner on the cases screen, but can't seem to get it right.

Here is what I am currently using for the formula:

Code:
Account.OwnerID

But, of course, this shows the ID, rather than the actual user name.  What can I do???

I'm banging my head against the wall.  This can't be so hard!

Thanks!

I am not sure about the formula field, but you can do it by creating a small S-control

I a similar requirement.  I have a custom object that is related to an Account and I want to display the Account Owner's Alias.  Is there a non S-control solution?  If not, can someone supply the code for the "small S-control"?
