Hi

Does ANYONE know if it is possible to find the origin of a spreadsheet?
By this i mean is it possible to track who(Computer Name) or what PC (IP
Address) created a excel document?

For example say Bob created a Excel document but i dont know he did but
i need to find out... How do i find out Bob Created it? Is it possible?

Thanks--

PROPERTIES. This might have the information you need regarding the
originator of the work sheet.

hi,
on the tool bar click filegt;properties.
it may not give you the infomation you listed below but it should give to
the logon name of the author, last saved by, date created, date last
modified, ect.
there is alot of other info there but it has to be filled in manually and
most people don't bother with that.

Good luck

If you are not against using code, here is a macro that pastes the author and
creation date.

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Sheets(quot;Sheet1quot;).Range(quot;A1quot;).Value = _
ThisWorkbook.BuiltinDocumentProperties(quot;Authorquot;)
Sheets(quot;Sheet1quot;).Range(quot;A2quot;).Value = _
ThisWorkbook.BuiltinDocumentProperties(quot;Creation Datequot;)
