Hi i have an old project which uses an MS-Access file as DB. I want to track its use for a performance assessment. It is accesses via a remote drive added to all hosts that use the application. How can I track the access to the file?

The “server” is a windows 2000 machine. The file is access 97 and its just a back end.

I want to know when a computer is accessing it and when, so i can track how many times it had been open per day per hour, also how many user are accessing it at the same time.

Thanks.

    You are going to have to put code in the application code/front-end to keep track of it.

    You might be able to write a program to watch the LDB file and record activity, but it wouldn’t be trivial and even if it works, it is unlikely to be completely accurate.

    Not a great answer, but Access isn’t a client-server DB (as a back-end) so your options are limited.
