Where can I find the name who last worked on it?

(OP)
I've searched through the forums but can't locate a thread about this but I thought I read it sometime. I have a folder full of drawings, some I did recently, some were done 2-3 years ago with a different name. Where can I find the name of the last person to save it?

Thanks

Yes, that worked. Thanks. I tested it in both Autocad Open window and also in the Explorer window and it worked the same. The name of the last saving person was in the "Statistics" tab.

Thanks again for your help.
