How do I track when a word document has been opened on my desktop.

There is an Accessed Date you can view but it's not 100% reliable
since it can be changed without someone actually viewing the file. For
example if you right-click and view the Properties then the Accessed
date will change and many virus scanners trigger change to the
Accessed Date as well.

That being the case, if you have security concerns then you should log
on/log off your computer accordingly.

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email can not be acknowledged.
