I am hoping that someone out there will be able to help me, I am about to start developing a number of databases which will require the tracking of who has entered either a record or added notes to a record. Is there an easy way to do this automatically along with the date?
Any help would be appreciated.

What sort of environment are they in network wise? Do you know if they have a main server, are they using Active Directory?

So far as i know its Windows with main server other than that I dont know, does that make a difference?

Well it could, does your databases currently have security setup (logon screen) when they open? One more thing how are they currently logging into their PC or do they?

One of my favorite methods is to create a Log File to monitor changes/edits/deletions, etc. Its simplist Format would be as follows: - Open "C:\<some directory>\LogFile.txt" For Append As #1
-
'[MyKey] is a Primary Key that uniquely identifies the Record
-
Print #1, CurrentUser & " modified Record ID# " & Me![MyKey] & " on " & Format(Now(), "ddd, mm/dd/yyyy @ hh:mm AM/PM")
-
Close #1
Output: - Admin modified Record ID# 1 on Fri, 03/23/2007 @ 11:57 AM
NOTE: All this, of course, assumes you have a Log On Procedure in place.
Thanks for the help so far, I have not started to develope the database yet, so I have not added any security as yet, idealy I would like to be able to use the windows log on if that is possible.

When Active Directory is in place I like using it to keep track of who's who and who is changing what. If AD is in place then you can add a reference in VBA to "Active DS Type Library"
Then you can use something like the following: -
-
Set sysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
-
Set oUser = GetObject("LDAP://" & sysInfo.UserName & "")
-
intUsr = InStr(sysInfo.UserName, ",")
-
LName = Mid(sysInfo.UserName, 4, (intUsr - 5))
-
FName = Right(sysInfo.UserName, ((Len(sysInfo.UserName) - intUsr) - 1))
-
intUsr = InStr(FName, ",")
-
-
FName = Left(FName, intUsr - 1)
-
UsrNme = LName & ", " & FName
-
UsrNme = UsrNme & " " & oUser.TelephoneNumber
-
-
Me!Login = "Logged in as user name: " & Mid(Environ(29), InStr(1, Environ(29), "=") + 1)
-
Me!UName = "Welcome: " & UsrNme
-
Set sysInfo = Nothing
-
Set oUser = Nothing
