We use Office files extensively at work and it has become a nightmare to
manage them. I want to enable the Journal feature in outlook for my
department only to capture all of the Office files people use on a daily
basis. I don't want attachments, but just information on who opened what
file and when. Then, on a monthly basis I want to create a report showing
the usage patterns.
We use Office XP on Windows XP for 50 users. Some of the questions I have
are:
1) I've noticed that the Journal does not record the user who opened the
file. How do I capture that?
2) In order to consolidate the Journal entries, I thought autoarchiving the
files daily to a network share would be the best solution. Is it?
3) If I autoarchive to a PST file, I will have to use multiple PST files
because of concurrency issues. The autoarchive doesn't allow me to specify
when the archiving will take place and no more than one can be archiving to
the file at a time. What is the best strategy for this?
4) What is the best way to put the information from the PST files into a
database in order to be searched/reported? Through Outlook, I can use
File-> Export and choose MS Access, but I want to do this programmatically.
Any code samples would help greatly.
Thanks in advance to anyone who has any suggestions.
