    1. COThanks for reminding me of @@SPID. I had a mental margarita on that one. The solution was to create a table in the server to store the hostname and username in Access. The main form open event inserts the hostname from VBA.Environ("COMPUTERNAME") and CurrentUser() into this table. In the audit trigger I find the username with Select @UserName = dbo.AccessUsers.Username FROM sys.sysprocesses INNER JOIN dbo.AccessUsers ON sys.sysprocesses.hostname = dbo.AccessUsers.HostName WHERE (sys.sysprocesses.program_name = 'Microsoft Office 2003') and sys.sysprocesses.spid = @@SPID

    2. COThat's great! Is there any way you can store the spid instead of look up the user name real time, and later convert it to the username based on the spid and the date/time (using a table with a history of the current user)? The way you're doing it is fine, it's just best to do as little as possible in a trigger...

    3. COI would think that might get messy with users logging in and out. You'd get a large table of repeated information. You'd have to log the time to a table, then trigger the access table as well to find the SPID in SQL or do the insert on the Access side with ADO. I'm with you on having triggers do the smallest amount of work, but I'm thinking it'd be cleaner in the long run to have the trigger find the username. I'm all ears if you can think of a better way of doing it.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
