i need to be able to log the user name of anyone who changes the data on one of my forms.
i have done this in excel vba with
user = Environ("Username")

is there a simlar way of recording users and what data they changed?

Thanks Stu
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
Environ("Username") works in Access as well. Easy enough to use it to record when a record was created by setting as the default value for a field and use anther field to record the date/time stamp. Tracking changes will be more of a challange!
