Does anyone know a way of doing this using just the files stored on the hard drive of the machine being used?

many thanks
John
 
You could try looking at the .lsi file to see if it's been updated. But I'm not sure it gets updated if it doesn't need to be. Look in the LocData directory and try it.

Hi, thanks for the reply...

what lsi file do I need to look at?

???.lsi

thanks
John
 
The lsi file is the local security file and holds information such as user logon names/id's. You get a different named lsi file for each key file that has been used. You get multiple key files if you have several different repositories or connection methods to a single repository.

If you have only one repository the locdata folder will only have 1 .lsi file. If you have multiple connections look for the xxx.lsi file for the connection used. Where xxx is the name of the connection. ie. if you connected using the BOMain key file the lsi will be called BOMain.lsi.
 
Can't you just enable database logging in WebI and query that db? I know that this adds some overhead. Stick to your guns
