Dear Experts,<br />
<br />
I have a document library for excel files and I would like to be able to know who opened a file (when you open it to &quot;Read Only&quot; and don't edit it. In the views columns there is only &quot;Opened by&quot; and &quot;Modified by&quot; I need one to be &quot;Opened by&quot; or is there a workaround to know who opened certain file...<br />
<br />
Thank you for your help<br />
