Maybe someone here will know the answer we are seeking. We are trying to
build a case for “unpaid overtime†and “off-the-clock†time, spent working on
our home PC’s. We need to determine the amount of time spent working on two
of our three XP-HE computers, in Office 2003.

Specifically, we need to know the editing time on Excel spreadsheets, which
is not given in the "properties" of each file.

We also need the same for Word documents, and can get that, to a limited
degree, by copying each line individually from the document's "properties",
but given the large number of documents and spreadsheets we are dealing with,
we think there must be an easier way.

Our thinking is there must be some recording means within XP that we could
query to obtain the information we need more easily than copying each line
individually from "properties".

Any advice/help you can provide is most appreciated.
 
Jim,
Thanks for your response, but I assume this would have had to be done before
these documents/spreadsheets were created, some of them 2 years ago. Back
then, we were unaware of the Fair Labor Standards Act, and had no way of
knowing that we were owed for "off-the-clock" work.

Where would we obtain: "a document management system that provides basic
check-in / check-out capability which logs document access attributes to an
audit file"
