    Question How to create a table containing the historical information about who and when modify


    I am using MS Access 2007 to collect/store/extract data.

    I would like to create a table that contains the information about who and when modify the database, i.e. the following table with the fields:

    ID
    Accessed by
    Accessed time
    Modified by
    Modified time
    Last saved by
    Last saved time


    How to achieve my goal? Should I use VBA?


    Thank you in advance.

    Please give us the description you would give to a stranger who asked -- What are you trying to do?-- in plain English.

    You're talking about creating an Audit Log. Here is an excellent tutorial on the subject:

    http://allenbrowne.com/AppAudit.html

    Be warned, though, this kind of thing is never going to be a simple task, and you'll need to follow Allen's instructions closely!

    Here’s another tutorial, form the Access Gnomes on the Mother Ship

    The same caveat applies to this example, as well!
