user log

[rob1234]

Is there a log or a way to create a log that tracks when a person logs into a .fp5 database and how long they were logged in. It's a multiuser db on a network drive accessed by 3 or 4 people.

How are the files being accessed?

I think they just double click on the .fp5 file and it opens in filemaker and then each user has a password created under file->access privileges->passwords and under sharing multiuser is selected and local data access companion is checked

If you are running this with FileMaker Server then the server creates a log file (Event.log I think). This tracks every user that has logged in, which files they accessed along with start & end times.

If your not using server then you would need to write a logging module within the FileMaker solution itself. This could be run through the startup script for the file.

No I just have filemaker pro and developer 5.5 and 6. You wouldn't happen to know of any module tutorials or samples for logging. All I need is the username and log in time and log out time. Thanks.
