The MsAccessTarget uses and OLEDB connection string to connect to your Microsoft Access database.  It automatically creates a logging table on startup with the name of tblLog if it does not exist.  It automatically discards oldest entries after reaching a default of 10,000 log messages.  This behavior can be overridden.

 

It has these properties that can be configured:

• Name - Defaults to MsAccessTarget
• LoggingMode - Defines which mode to use for the target; Synchronous, Buffered, or Asynchronous.  The default is Synchronous.
• MessageFormat - What to output in the log.  See the Message Format topic for more information.
• DateFormat - The date format for the %LogTime% variable in the MessageFormat. See the Date Format topic for more information.
• MinimumLevel - The minimum logging level to log a message.
• AssemblyNameFilter - If specified, only log for a specific assembly name.  See the Filtering topic.
• NamespaceFilter - If specified, only log for a specific namespace.  See the Filtering topic.
• ClassNameFilter - If specified, only log for a specific class name.  See the Filtering topic.
• MethodNameFilter - If specified, only log for a specific method name.  See the Filtering topic.
• ThreadNameFilter - If specified, logging will only occur for the thread id or thread name specified. See the Filtering topic.
• UserNameFilter - If specified, logging will only occur for the specific user name.  See the Filtering topic.
• MachineNameFilter - If specified, logging will only occur for the specific machine name.  See the Filtering topic.
• BufferSize -  When a logging target has a Mode of Buffered, this is how often messages are committed.  See the Buffered Logging topic.
• ConnectionString - Get or set the connection string.
• TableName - Get or set the table name.  Defaults to tblLog
• MaxEntries - Discard the oldest entries that are greater than MaxEntries.  Set to zero to disable.
• AutoCreateTable - If true, the logging table will be automatically created if it does not exist when the first message is logged.
