Well, as long as all files you work with have some kind of project specific identifier in their filename, you could use pools with *wildcards* to track the different projects.
Doesn't work with apps that don't show the file names in the title bar, though, so it's not 100% reliable.

Fabian

Thanks, Rob. That's what I figured but was hoping otherwise.

I just stumbled across Time Sink and have not actually tried it yet. I 
would like to find an app that would somehow track my work on different 
*projects* not just what applications I'm using. In a given month I may 
work on several projects, each one of which involves using multiple apps, 
w/many of the same apps used on multiple project. For example, most of my 
projects involve using Word and Excel. Tracking how much time I spend in 
different applications isn't really important to me; tracking projects is. 
I realize that no program can know what project I'm working on unless I 
supply some information (like "all files in folder X are related to Project 
A") but is there any way to do this in Time Sink?

Thanks in advance, and apologies if this seems like a naive question.
