If you add this code to the ThisWorkbook module it will append records to a text file (log.txt" in the same path as the file is stored
It will write
System Log On, PC Name, Time
You can change the log file path, ie to write to z:\temp where z is a network drive
Open "z:\temp\usage.log" For Append As #1
Cheers

Print #1, Environ("username"), Environ("computername"), Now
