Tracked user name using basAuditTrail module.

[suckerpunchnz]

Hi there,

I'm using this audit trail code (basAuditTrail module) to log changes in my database, but I'm needing it to track by the user name logged into Access not by the account logged into Windows. Does anybody know how to change this?

Your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks heaps.

Phil.

This is the code I'm using....it seems to be a common one found in forums.
[CODE=VB]Private Sub Form_BeforeUpda te(Cancel As Integer)
Call AuditTrail(Me, RecordNo) 'RecordNo is the primary key for each table
End Sub[/CODE]
In (module) basAuditTrail:
[CODE=VB]Const cDQ As String = """"

Sub AuditTrail(frm As Form, recordid As Control)
'Track changes to data.
'recordid identifies the pk field's corresponding
'control in frm, in order to id record.
Dim ctl As Control
Dim varBefore As Variant
Dim varAfter As Variant
Dim strControlName As String
Dim strSQL As String
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
'Get changed values.
For Each ctl In frm.Controls
With ctl
'Avoid labels and other controls with Value property.
Select Case ctl.ControlType
Case acTextBox, acCheckBox, acComboBox
If .Value <> .OldValue Then
varBefore = .OldValue
varAfter = .Value
strControlName = .Name
'Build INSERT INTO statement.
strSQL = "INSERT INTO " _
& "tblAudit (EditDate, User, RecordID, SourceTable, " _
& " SourceField, BeforeValue, AfterValue) " _
& "VALUES (Now()," _
& cDQ & Environ("userna me") & cDQ & ", " _
& cDQ & recordid.Value & cDQ & ", " _
& cDQ & frm.RecordSourc e & cDQ & ", " _
& cDQ & .Name & cDQ & ", " _
& cDQ & varBefore & cDQ & ", " _
& cDQ & varAfter & cDQ & ")"
'View evaluated statement in Immediate window.
Debug.Print strSQL
DoCmd.SetWarnin gs False
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL
DoCmd.SetWarnin gs True
End If
End Select[/CODE]

CurrentUser() returns the Access user name. Try substituting for Environ("userna me") in your code.
