Absolutely. the log file can get rather large though. What I would suggest is this: Create multiple log files. (1) "Master" log file and one log file for each userid. then, in your file, create a workbook_open event and delete any existing log file with the userid, and open it new. then, create a Workbook_SheetChange event that writes the sheet name and cell values to the userid log file.
then, create a Workbook_Save event that copies the user log file to the "Master" log file. this way, if the user makes a bunch of changes, and doesn't SAVE the file, then the changes are discarded. do you need help with this?
