Last Modified by...

[Guest]

how do I find out who last modified the file that I want to check?
Eg.:
I open an Excel-File and want to know, who did the last modification and
saved it and when did he/she did that.
I want to run a small macro to display the Username in a Textbox on the
screen.

thanks for your help!

'-----------------------------------------------------------------
Function DocProps(prop As String)
'-----------------------------------------------------------------
Application.Volatile
On Error GoTo err_value
DocProps = ActiveWorkbook.BuiltinDocumentProperties _
(prop)
Exit Function
err_value:
DocProps = CVErr(xlErrValue)
End Function


and enter in a cell such as
=DocProps ("last author")
or
=DocProps ("last save time")

- Goto "Tools->Macro->Visual Basic Editor"
OR
simply presss ALT-F11

- Select your excel workbook in "Project Explorer"
- Select "ThisWorkBook"
- Paste the following code

=====================================
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim UName, RecPointer
UName = InputBox("Name", "Who are you?:")
RecPointer = Sheet3.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row + 1
Sheet3.Cells(RecPointer, 1) = UName
Sheet3.Cells(RecPointer, 2) = Date
Sheet3.Cells(RecPointer, 3) = Time
End Sub
=====================================

I have used "Sheet3" to save user data
you can use a different one, replace "Sheet3" with your sheet name
