I have an Access 2000 db on a shared drive that is not split into a front
end/back end. Users use this db for data entry. I want to know which user
entered each record in the database. Is there a way to capture the user
name/id without making them enter their name on the data entry form for each
record they input? As you can probably tell, I'm a novice.

Thank you,

This is asked and answered all the time. I'd suggest you search for your
answers before posting a new thread. The
easiest way I have found is to go to www.google.com, click the "groups"
options, and enter a search string starting with the following...

microsoft.public.access timestamp
