Interesting question.....

[Dan0331]

We have an employee here at work who we feel is deleting records of thier work, prior to completing it.

Is there a way that I can write a VB program that will dump what he deletes to a temporary folder along with the recycle bin so we can catch him in the act, but not give him the idea that we're on to him?

Please let me know what I can do.

Thanks!

probalbly not a vb program, you'de need a couple of C++ Dlls

use the GetAsyncKeyState API to record each key that is pressed and log them to a file. If possible, try to record when the mose is clicked. See if the Shift Key and the Mouse click are used in conjunction. That could mean that someone is deleting something.

On top of that, make a program to finding whatever file the user is trying to delete then close it after. This will continue until the file is deleted. When it happens. when the file is not found, then you write down the time. you can also go back to your other program and check if there was a move click or a Shift+mouseclick used at that time.
