Creating a log file to find out who is using the file

I would like to create a log file that shows who is using a shared excel workbook. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hi Greg,
I suggest you put some code in the Workbook_Open event to save the Excel application's registered user's name (Application.UserName) to a hidden/protected worksheet or to a server file that all users (including you) have access to. This will work so long as the application is registered in the user's name, not the company name. In the latter case, you can pop up a UserForm requesting that the user enter his/her own name, and store this as the Application.UserName.
Happy computing.
