access user tracking

2
hi,

is there a way to track which users are on an access DB?
what i'm trying to do is kind of like an employee time-clock/tracker, so that when employees log in to the access DB or (more likely) when they click on a "clock in" button in the DB, the DB stores them as "in" and they can change their status to "out" or "on break". i need this to work in such a way that all of the employees can see who is "in" at any given time, but only the employee can change his own status. i know it's possible to create a little form in access for doing this, but i'm not so experienced with access, and it would be much easier if i didn't have to. i know there are a lot of similar things for sale, but i want something that can work within our current DB.

thanks

I designed something similar to what your inquiring about. I ran into issues when multiple users were updating records at the same time on the same table.

i don't think that ill be an issue at the moment we really only need this for about 12 of the employees and they all keep different times.
