Question : Tracking Users in Microsoft Access

Hello,

Before few years I created program "Invoice 06'" using Microsoft Access 2003 and its working very good. Now in my program I made some small changes regarding security: now I created two users accounts (because program is used in small office on two PCs with two users).

Every user has username and password and everything works OK but I would like to add posibility in my program: when some of these two users insert one or more records I would like to know wich user add/delete/edit some record... so in case somthinh goes wrong and some of these users make some mistake (for example: inputs wrong data, delete some important record by accident etc) I would like to know wich user made that mistake?

Sorry for bad english, hope I explained it right.

Thanks in advance for quick replys and any help is appreciated!

Answer : Tracking Users in Microsoft Access

Sorry - but it would be easier to work through the errors you are getting.  The code is extensive only in so far as it has to be applied to each control e.g. text box / combo box etc representing the fields in your tables that you want to monitor.  So for each control, create a BeforeUpdate event and insert the code which you will have to adapt.

gblnAddMode  is a variable in my application which is used to differentiate between adding new records and editing them.  You could use the form property Me.NewRecord instead i.e:
If me.NewRecord = False Then

TrackingID is the primary key field that uniquely identifies the current record.
sTblName is another variable set to the name of the table.
Me.cboConclusion.ControlSource is the current field name.
Me.cboConclusion.OldValue is the original value for the field.
Me.cboConclusion.Value is the new value given to the field by the user.

I am sure you will get the hang of this but you have to adapt the code to your application.

If you have any further problems I am available for the next hour or so.
