    Open specific excel file and log file information

    Hi All I was wondering if somebody would be able to help me.

    I am looking for a way of creating a file which will tracker/log the date of a file change location and the username who carried out this change. Basically the document I am tracking will be template which people will fill out, dependant on info they fill in this can be rejected or accepted or pending and will go into specific folders on a network dependant on the status. I would also like to hyperlink the file in the location section in the tracker/log file.

    My question is it possible to do this with an excel file which opens in the background and updates then closes even though it is a template and how would you do it. I have attached the log file for your perusal

    Thanks in advance

    Hello chidmas,

    Are you wanting to track the date of a file change, location, and the username of the template or the file the template has created?
    Sincerely,

    You can try using the workbook's .BuiltinDocumentProperties to pull out who and when saved the workbook.
