Brian,

I wrote a package I call "FACSLOG" which might help you. It's not actually a
"front-end", but a collection of programs that run from Master Page just
like any other program. It requires user ID's and passwords that are
installed by a system adminsitrator, and prints logs of computer use that
can be exported to spreadsheets or database programs.

If you have FTP access to the internet, you can get the programs and
documentation from cell.pathology.ufl.edu (128.227.210.102) - see the README
file in the pub/facslog directory. You will need FACSNET to successfully
install it on your HP - only FACSNET (or FUSION, the product FACSNET is
built on) can convert the FTP'd files into the necessary HP type,
"codefile". If you can't get the files this way, send me a note and I'll
mail you a disk.
