It seems by default nothing gets recorded like that but only the last logon. The following article is the closest one I have found which deals with that. It extracts in a table all the last logons from each user:

That said, if you automate that procedure with a few detection mechanism, you should be able to synchronize a Visual FoxPro table which will accumulate all the logons from each user. This article describes how to extract the last logon. But, if you automate that and run such a logic in a loop, you should then be able to create a log. Basically, if the record doesn't exist in VFP, you consider it a new logon. So, you just add it. And, bingo, you have a new history of what you are looking for.
