SUMMARY
=======

When you invoke the LogEvent Method in your Visual Basic program running
under Windows 95, a text file is created with the filename VBEVENTS.LOG in
the default directory if you leave the LogPath Property blank. The LogPath
property allows you to set the path and filename of a log file.

MORE INFORMATION
================

You can log events in your Visual Basic program by using the LogEvent
method. If your program is running under Windows NT, the specified events
are logged in the NT Event Log. Under Windows 95, the specified events are
logged to a text file, vbevents.log.

You can change the location and the file name of the event log by setting
the LogPath property to the path and location of your choice and setting
the mode argument of the LogMode property to vbLogToFile.

For more information, refer to the LogMode Property topic of the online
help.
