John,

I am using RealVnc V4 however I would have thought it was up to the
operating system i.e. XP/NT to determine if it will log an event rather than
VNC triggering it.

I don't know but logic would say the trigger would be the event operating
system.

Wez what do you say ??

John

Maybe it's because we're using TightVNC, maybe no Event Log entries are
made.... are you using RealVNC?   I haven't looked at TVNC vs RVNC in well
over a year.... maybe I should look agin.
