I ran into this problem several years ago and still use routines I wrote in my current applications. There have been 3rd party software written that does this also. See <A HREF="

There are 2 listed that might work. NetLib and ??? (old age, mind goes first). <br>

Here is what I do. I have a database called loginout.dbf. (fields Date(d), Time(c,8), User(c,10) program(c,12)) Every program started by a person during the day is added to the database. When they leave the program it is deleted. There is an index for deleted records on the dbf. The routines to add records look for deleted records and resuse them. There is a index on user+program, if it finds a record match it updates the date and time fields only. To compensate for users that turn their system off or for computers that lock up, a nightly maintenanse program is run to remove records over 12 hours old. <br>
