Creating a "user" trail"

S

Scott Birch

Hi All,


Is anyone aware of a way in which I could automatically
create a list of the previous users who had saved a given
document?

Basically, I have multiple users who work on cross-
projects so if one of the users found that there was an
issue with the document they could run this function and
it would tell them who had previously saved the document,
and therefore communicate with that person.

Thanks in advance,

Scott Birch

Hi Scott,
you have to provide for an extra file, let's say:
"x:\myserver\test\users.txt" and to intercept
filesave like:
Sub Filesave()
ActiveDocument.Save
Open "x:\myserver\test\users.txt" For Append As #1
Write #1, Application.UserName
' write or environ("username")
Close #1
End Sub
