You need to be more specific about your network. What is the operating
system of the server? The operating system of the users? If it is W2K, you
can log onto the server and open a program called network monitor.
If nothing else, you can check the history files of each users computer in
Internet Explorer. (CTRL + H) click my computer in the left pane and find
the file in question in the list. Find the user with a view time similar to
the file save time of the server and you will have your human.
