QM Usage Metrics

[stupomer]

Hi All,
I am trying to set up metrics of the usage of my various macros by my colleagues -- both to document the amazing utility of QM and to eventually analyze improvements in productivity.
I know there is no internal metrics but I was wondering if someone could suggest a strategy that I could use to set them up myself. Perhaps setfile into a excel spreadsheet? Are there any good counting programs like they have for website visitor counters? Is there little snippets of code or a way to use the logfile that I should be putting into each macros/function?
Thanks for any advice!
Stuart

for this sort of thing, i just dump out a date/time stamp with a comma separating any other data and call the file xxxxxxxxxx.csv.

Code:

Copy      Help

str a b c
a.time("%c")
a.from(a "," "I ran this")
a.setfile("c:\temp\stupomer.csv" -1 -1 1)

then run an Access link table across it and create the queries i need (either in access or QM) to get the info back out.

Thanks Ken, I will give it a try.

I added it to my to do list. Possibly will implement in some new QM version. Thank you.

Thanks again for the original program, all the improvements and of course your responses on the Forum!!
