Hi All,

Here is my situation. I have one machine running the master database. I have 5 other machines that open that DB remotely. I have created a username and password for each machine. Laptop1, Laptop2, etc.

When someone makes a change to a certain record, prints an invoice for example, I need to be able to see which machine handled that record and when.

I am sure there is away to do this, but I am a coldfusion programmer by trade and I am just starting to develop in FM.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks...Mike G

Well if you want to track by each machine then it would make more sense to use something like the MAC address.

Get (SystemNICAddress)

You can then have a table that stores the MAC addresses and the corresponding machine name.

If you want to grab the user name in each FileMaker Pro install ( under preference options ) then look at Get (UserName).

If you want to grab the account that logged into the file, then use Get (AccountName)
