I may.  Just coming up against this requirement - don't usually need to do
this kind of auditing for most tif my clients - they're too small to worry
about it.

I almost hate to suggest this Rocky, but if the audit trail is so important,
why not look at a different backend.  SQL Server Express will let you use
triggers, you setup a trigger for INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE for each table
you want to audit.  Then you don't have to worry about what process is doing
what, the database does the audit automatically.....

Like I said, this pushes the backend away from Access, but auditing is one
feature of a server side database that is just makes more sense to do that
there....

Gustav:

Storage space won't be an issue.  However, this implies an audit table for
each table with userID and timestamp, yes?  It would seem the reporting
would be a little more tricky because you'd have to go back to the previous
audit trail record for a table to find the differences, no?

When you consider that last week I bought 1.5Tb HD for £110 sterling from PC
World. Plugs straight into my usb port and comes up as 1.3Tb formatted.

I can make copies to my hearts content and never run out of space.
