Watchdog software

We are just beginning to allow users to work from home periodically due to
phyusical space requirements at the office. Some users dial in to run a
terminal services session and work in that session all day while others can
get what they need by simply using a VPN connection to map some drives to
our servers.

I have been asked by the owner of the business who is a little worried about
the "working from home" thing, to look into some software that could tell us
what people are actually doing when they are on-line. He doesn't want to
know minute by minute - but wants to be able to periodically inform a user
that on such and such a day at such and such a time it was noticed they were
doing such and such. His theory is that if you do this every once in a
while, that alone would be enough to keep most people on the straight and
narrow (our owner does not start by trusting people. He distrusts first and
then trusts later on...)

Does anyone know of any type of software that can accomplish this type of
thing?

Thanks,

Brad

You are posting to a Microsoft Access newsgroup. If you have questions
about creating a database in the Microsoft Access application, we can help
you. If not, you are in the wrong place.
