FileMaker SQL Audit Trail

This solution uses the free BaseElements Plugin and uses SQL SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE to generate an audit trail that requires very little setup to get it up and working. This solution will work with FileMaker Pro/Pro Advanced and Web Direct. (Plugin required on FMS for WebDirect).

PLEASE email me with any bug reports, suggestions, criticisms, etc!  The sooner you tell me, the sooner I can get a fix put in place which in turn will benefit everyone else using this solution!  Thank you!

I will provide announcements via my Twitter account: @FileMakerGeek when I make any updates.
