Default Audit Trail

Hi,

In case the user doesn't save it may be a good idea to save it with the
openers username by making this the last line in the code

ActiveWorkbook.Save

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

Rich,

Alt+F11 to open VB editor. Double click 'ThisWorkbook' and paste the code
below in on the right. It uses a worksheet called "Audit"

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim LastRow As Long
Set sht = Sheets("Audit")
LastRow = sht.Cells(Cells.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row + 1
sht.Cells(LastRow, 1) = Environ("Username")
sht.Cells(LastRow, 2) = Now
End Sub

I would like to build an audit trail into a spreadsheet so that anyone who
opens the file is is logged in a worksheet with user name and time stamp.
What's the easiest / best way to achieve this?
