You could use transaction logging for that:

Solution 2

Depending on what you mean by log file, look up Create Trigger in BOL. They would enable you to log changes to a table.

Easy solution is...

Create another table similar to the one for which you want the log.
Add new field as Type for operation performed on the record (Like I for Insert New, D for Delete, UD REcord before update (from deleted table when update operation is performed) and UN for New record after updated (form inserted).

Use that log table to trace the activity... etc
