    Log files in access

    Hello...

    Is there any possibilities for Microsoft Access to create log files activity?

    That depends on what version of access you have, what kind of activity you want to log, and how comfortable you are with a lot of coding.

            In access 2010, you can use the new data macro functionality to capture activity on a table such as the deleted you want to capture. For more info on data macros, here is a link to Microsoft's manual: https://support.office.com/en-nz/art...d-f296ef834200

            For log in and log out, you will need to specially code a form for that. Do a search in the forum, there are plenty of threads that discuss this issue. And since you're new to access, you might want to do a tutorial on VBA before taking on a project of this size.

                You can run queries from VBA. But running a query from VBA does not identify deletes because if it's deleted, there's nothing to query. You need to use the previously mentioned data macros for that.
