Im looking forward to getting the “audit” working. I did one of these manualy with another software a number of years ago and it was very painfull and it took forever to do, but it was well recieved. I have the Audit Profile setup and the table is in the DB, but im not sure how data get into it? Do i have to do a query on every element i want recorded to fill the table? Or should the table automaticly fill itself via ignition somehow? Thanks ---

have you gone into your project properties\>general, enabled auditing, and selected the audit profile that you created? ---

Perfect! That was what i was looking for. Now all thats missing(as far as I can tell) from this useful audit tool is just a field in the table for the workstation a keypress has come from. For such a widespread-able system you should be able to track not only the user that hit a button but the computer it came from. I guess I should suggest it as an addition as it is crucial, unless you have any ideas?(trying to keep from haveing extra scripitng involved) Thanks or your help ---

Logging the IP address of the computer in the audit trail is coming in 7.5 ---

Can you read the “primary” MAC address in an OS independent way? What about computer name? This would be helpful since many users are in a DHCP pool. ---

Computer name we could do ---

I think that would work great for computers in a dynamic address (DHCP) scope.
