Author log-file for interface-use
Filips Benoit

2005-05-30, 7:23 am

Dear All,

SQL-SERVER-DB
Access interface
25 users

I want to know how the users are working with the interface:
* What forms the use
* What routines the run ( commandbuttons)
* How long they use the interface
* etc.

I'll use a public function to add the information.

Where should i store the information ? :
* in a table in the SQL-DB: 1 table for all users on the server
* a text-file for each user on the users computer.
What solutions is the quickest?

Thanks,

Filip

I don't know much about Access, but I would suggest you use a database
table (or tables) to store your log, if possible. If you go with the
files, you'll have to collect them from each PC and then you'll
probably want to load them into the database anyway in order to do
reporting and generate summaries. The database table also gives you
'real-time' reporting, and you don't have to worry about users
accidentally deleting their log files.
