denying access
We have a file clerk who likes to get on the computers (usually mine) during
the lunch hour or after hours, is there anyway to lock my computer or at least deny her access to Excel? |

If you hit CTRL ALT DEL, does it give you the option to lock your workstation? -- agrimes75 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ agrimes75's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=30790 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=504482 |

* password protect Excel files
* password protect Win XP (if that's your operating system) * catch them at it, and punch them in the head: many people respond to this type of beating * lock the room When you start a computer, there are many many files that are updated with data that can be used to show that someone logged on at a particular time. If they log on after hours after they have been told not to do so, use this as the compelling event to fire them. Keystroke logger software might be used to show what this person is doing on the computer, although you'll probably find out they are goofing on IM rather than selling company secrets. It's easy to assume malice when the true motivation is stupidity. |

Kind of assumes that the person does not have any need to
do their work on a computer. It's kind of hard to work if you don't have access to a computer these days, especially if you get slugged around. Two possibilities: 1) She gets her own computer 2) She uses the computer of someone two levels up, who just has a computer for show but doesn't use it. It's usually the biggest, fastest personal computer that could be purchased at the time. Don't know what came over me those people are probably retired but there are a lot of people around who just use their computer for solitaire maybe she could use one of those Third possibility: 3) She gets fired because she can't do her job, and you do her job as well. There is no pay increase and you become more indispensable and never get a promotion. --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "Dave O" wrote in message oups.com... * password protect Excel files * password protect Win XP (if that's your operating system) * catch them at it, and punch them in the head: many people respond to this type of beating * lock the room When you start a computer, there are many many files that are updated with data that can be used to show that someone logged on at a particular time.
