Log user

Please be specific. Whom do you wan to log? The machine name or do you want to ask a login box and log that person's name?

network username

Ok. I have a project on the network drive that is accessible by all. Now, things are being changed without my consent. Everytime the project is opened I want to write to a text file the nt username or even the machinename of the person and the date/time. This way when people change my work I can figure out who it is.
Sorry for the confusion.
Thanks

Private Sub Form_Load()

    Open "c:\log.txt" For Append As #1
   
        Print #1, "User = " & UserName & _
        " : Machine Name = " & _
        ComputerName & " at " & _
        Format(Now, "short time") & " " _
        & Format(Date, "short date")
   
    Close #1

Maybe I'm not very clear with the way I explained the question.  I have a project on a network drive, anyone that has access to this drive (50+) working on a machine with VB installed can open and change the .vbp file.

What i want to know is, is there a way to log the username/machinename and datetime when the vbp is opened, not ran as the person may not run the app just change some code....any ideas

MS Visual SourceSafe...

ok you have me as I know sweet FA about VSS i know it keeps the last version of the code but not a log of who has accessed the code.

With VSS, you can restrict some users to read-only and you can even hide projects to users.

Is it hard to set up (believe me the only thing I've touched with VSS is the clicking the no on the "Add to Visaul Source" when opening a new project.

If this is on a network share and the share is on an NTFS partition while not enable 'Auditing' on the share.   Since the share is most likely secured to only allow access to it from certain groups and/or users you could easily setup 'Auditing' to track the following items:

Read
Write
Execute
Delete
Change Permissions
Take Ownership

You will need to have Full Control of the share in order to set this up, but it would be the most effective way to do what you are wanting to do.
