Help pLease... Creating a Usage Log
 

I am trying to create a usage log, below is the code:

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Open ThisWorkbook.Path & "\usage.log" For Append As #1
Print #1, Application.UserName, Now
Close #1
End Sub

However, I don't know where the log is stored therefore am not sure if it is
working.
Would someone be able to help me?
Your guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

J.B.

The usage.log file is stored in the folder from which you opened the workbook

I tested the code and it works.

The code creates the file on first open then appends username and date/time each
time the workbook is opened.

Find it in the folder and open with NotePad to check.

Gord Dibben,
Thank you, I feel stupid now, should have noticed the usage log right in
front of my face.
