Don't know if it's workable for you or not, but one approach would be to remove security for all groups, then see which users complain&lt;g&gt;.<br />
<br />
BTW. Total Access Admin may not be able do the job....in order to get a user name, you must be using ULS (User Level Security) aka JET/ACE &quot;workgroup&quot; security on the DB. &nbsp;You would however be able to get the station name and that might be enough for you. &nbsp;Also if you wanted to, you could write the same utility easily enough if you wanted to as all it does is read the LDB file.<br />
<br />
I think though that you'd come out ahead by just buying it.<br />

BTW. Total Access Admin may not be able do the job....in order to get a user name, you must be using ULS (User Level Security) aka JET/ACE "workgroup" security on the DB.  You would however be able to get the station name and that might be enough for you.  Also if you wanted to, you could write the same utility easily enough if you wanted to as all it does is read the LDB file.

Each of the below MDBs are in folders that has different GROUP permissions which might include 100+ people, but only 2+ people are using the database<br />

How can I START getting a list of all Windows UserNames or Computer HostNames who accesses the files over the next 60 days, so I have results two months from now since I plan to sunset all these old databases after I convert them to newer ASP.net MVC apps ?<br />

Microsoft Access 2003 -- list active users ?

Microsoft Office is an integrated suite of applications that includes Outlook, Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, Visio and InfoPath, along with a number of tools to assist in making the individual components work together. Coding within and between the projects is done in Visual Basic for Applications, known as VBA.

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.

Databases

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.

Office Productivity refers both to the act of being productive and efficient in an office or professional environment, as well as the software applications used to "produce" information. This includes the development of professional skills, creating work processes, and almost any program used to create or modify a document, image, audio or video clip. However, business application suites such as Microsoft Office, which include word processing, spreadsheet and presentation programs, are typically called productivity software, as contrasted with a "utility program," such as a file manager, which is used to organize files and folders on the computer. Many office- and business-oriented groups of programs are organized into suites.
