Record Open CATIA documents in Outlook Journal

[templetonc]

Does anybody have any VBA code to automatically record in the Outlook Journal documents that were opened and how long they were open?

Ok, I can create the code. The issue I am having is catchin events in CATIA. Where can I get a list of the events that VBA can catch from Catia. Like I need to be able to catch the program opening and closing. I have searched the help and I can not find the list. Does CATIA support Events for VBA?

There are no events from CATIA via the automation API. You need to purchase CAA rade to get that level of access.

There are several solutions if you want to track the activity of your users (hope I guess well what you want to do...).

- search for "folder watchdog" on Google

- special software which can record activity in your computers (there are a lot of things here which can be discussed, including how designers are feeling when they are "hunted")

- in C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Local Settings\Application Data\DassaultSystemes\CATTemp\ there are some log files (depend on your CATIA installation)

- check Statistics in Tools-Option-General

- install a PDM system....
