re: saving userlogon time

It really depends on how your user login to your application.Does it write anything on any table once it login? You have to see how the windows login and interact/interface with your database.

re: saving userlogon time

it depends on the user. sometimes they write and sometimes they dont.. what i was thinking is whenever user logs in they have to be varified with username and password ...is there any way to track that from usertable? when and which user is being varified from that table?

re: saving userlogon time

You might need to just use the logging mechanism of the SQL Server. However, if the user is using a single logon/local account, you will not be able to identify them individually.

I GOT IT

SELECT
TimeStart as 'Login Date',
CONVERT(VARCHAR(5), TimeStart, 108) as 'Login Time',
U.UserName as 'User',
L.UserLevelDesc as 'Role',
left(P.Param2, 8) as 'BP Version'
FROM
SY_ProcessLog P
left join Users U on p.userid = U.UserID
left join SY_UserLevel L on U.UserLevelID = L.UserLevelID

WHERE
TimeStart >= @FromDate2
and P.Process in ('Start')
and U.UserName <> 'BP ADMIN'
ORDER BY
P.TimeStart desc
