How to determine who created or modifed a public contact

If your auditing in AD is enable, yes you will find the culprit from the security under the event viewer.

If not enable then is not possible who changed the object.

To configure auditing in AD, see this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/814595

Download a tool from MS called MFCmapi and run it up. It is pretty easy to use and will tell you the last time an item was modified and by whom.  It only tells you the last modification, it does not store history of modifications to items.

I will check out the possible solutions you mentioned. Thanks Guys..

My boss swears there used to be simply a field showing who last modified or created a contact.
The idea is to open up a public contact list to a group of people  and  review / update  a large contact list that is out of date, if there are problems or incorrect info added we need to go back to the person that last updated it without going thru an admin to generate a report.  If user x sees incorrect info they simple have to look at a field on the contact or contact view to see who corrected it, they can then contact the person if there are questions or corrections.

Hi DMAC333

Sorry for the Delay Neiphin.
Question still not answered in the context of being able to simply look at a field on a public contact to see who and when a contact was last modified. I cound some VB code I will be testing today and will post an update.

Then there is no simple answer to your question. You can either write a bit of VB code or use MFCMapi.

Happy coding...

For the benefit of others looking for this type of functionality here is the solution that fits my needs offered by

You'd need to add code behind a custom form to do that, perhaps in the Item_Save event handler. Application.Session.CurrentUser will return the current user's name.
