[dba-SQLServer] Audit table - How to capture user who deletedrecord

Thanks, Dan. The problem is, people aren't directly users on the
database. The actual user data is on another database and they go
through a bunch of security hoops to get to the main application. From
there, there is a link to our application.   Normally, whenever we need
a user name, we use a parameter, but apparently that doesn't work with
triggers. The only way I can think off hand is to update the table with
the session id first, but was wondering if that is too big of a strain
on the system as we will be implementing this on all our editable
tables.
Thoughts?

Hi Betsey,

If people are logging in with a user name and password, then you can use
'CurrentUser'.  This is an access function.

Otherwise, you can get the PC Name that someone is using with this
function:
'Environ("ComputerName")'.

Good Luck!

record

Hello everyone,
I'm creating an audit table for our application. I had no problem with
the trigger for an insert or update, but when a user deletes a record I
can't figure out how to capture that user. 
I can't use system_user, that only shows the user name we created to
access the application.
Any ideas?
