Bit of a specific one this guys.
My friend is a manager at a company which runs events and is looking for a computerised way for the radio controller to log incidents which take place throughout the events, such as ejections,first aid etc.
Now the question is, is there a piece of software that can insert a time stamp for each event entered and also time stamp any changes made?
cheers for any help you can give me guys.

Onenote?

Failing that, Notepad with some CMD / Bat file scripting

Just use Excel. The shortcut CTRL+; will add todays date to a cell and CTRL+SHIFT+;will add the current time. You can use both in the same cell.

If you need to log longer incidents then OneNote would be quite good. Otherwise SB's suggestion is quite neat for something you may already have installed.

Could you expand on the notepad idea? Would be quite interesting.

Cheers,

OneNote is quite easy to use, I bet within 20 minutes you'd be ready to get started. It timestamps the page every time you create a new one.
