    I am looking to set up a simple program that will record when a user logs into a laptop. The results will display in a table showing the date and time stamp of when the user last logged in.

    I have set up the database in SQL to record all results and the .aspx dislpay page but now i need to configure it to take info from the login file in event viewer, but thats where the problem lies. I dont know how to set up a connection to event viewer!! Any ideas??:(

    The System.Diagnostics.EventLog component (under Components in the toolbox in VS if you have it) lets you interact with the event log. I've only used it to write events out to the log so I don't have the exact code you'll need, but I think you'll need to set the 'Log' property to point to the log you want (Application Log, System Log etc), and you can then use the 'Entries' property to loop through all existing entries.
    For Each logentry As System.Diagnostics.EventLogEntry In EventLog1.Entries
            messagebox.show(logentry.Source)
            messagebox.show(logentry.Message)
            'etc
Next
