I have found this wonderful little database that logs users off automatically, so designers can do their designing. Go here:

It explains all about it, and you can download the sample as well.
Thanks,

I first want to thank KenReay for the wonderful suggestion!!!
This is what I ended up doing, based on KenReay's suggestion:
I created another field called oldStatus on the administrative form.
On the "On Mouse Down" event of the status field I put the following code:
oldStatus = status
On...
Great!!
You have also given me some good ideas with your suggestions, so I will try and let you know what I come up with.
Thanks again,

Questions:
When you say extra column, do you mean another field?
Should updated status be another field, or is that a function to capture updated information?
I really appreciate your quick response!!!

All,
I hope somoneone can help with this one.
I have frm_test and it has a copy record command button on it.
frm_test_copy is the form that is used to capture the copied record from frm_test
There is a drop-down field on frm_test called status.
The values in the status field are Working...
PHV,
When I apply the code, it changes the color of every record in the database, for that particular field, on my continuous form.
Any other ideas?

PHV,
This is a continuous form.
Would this change every record for this field to that color?
If the answer is yes, that is not what I want.
I will try it tomorrow and see what happens.
Thanks so much.
I will let you know what happens.

scottian,
How can I modify the code below, if I want the text to change to the color red when somebody updates that field?
If Me![Text1] > Me![Text2] Or Me![Text1] = Me![Text2] Then
Me![Text1].ForeColor = vbBlue
Else
Me![Text1].ForeColor = vbRed
End If
End Sub

Clyde,
I am trying to do something similar in my continuous form, but I want the text in the field to change to red after update.
This is how I modified the code, but it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?
Private Sub Form_Current()
Dim ctl As Control, strForm As String
Dim...
Ok I know what that is, but I just don't use acronyms very much, because my job is HUGE on using acronyms for everything:)
Thanks my friend,

Ok. Yes I tried this, but how I have this set up that doesn't work.
I thought of something else. What if I put a command in my copy command to force the newly created to be the last record?
Here is my code:
Private Sub Command10_Click()
Dim db As DAO.Database, rst As DAO.Recordset
'Copy...
This does not work, because the record that is copied is not normally going to be the last record.
I just tried it and it is bringing up some other record still.
Any other ideas?

All,
I have 3 forms. One is a search form and the other is a results form, and then there is a results form from a button that copies a record.
I have a command button on the results form to copy that record.
Once that record is copied it opens up the form with the copied...
All,
Is the following possible? I think I want to set up a rule for this if that is the right way to go:
I get an email from joeblow@nothing.com
I want the rule to automatically send a template email back to joeblow@nothing.com. That template email would be something like a confirmation...
The problem I was having was with the iecdNumber field which was formatted with \cyy. Because of the formatting I couldn't see the actual date until I clicked in that field. The problem was some of the dates wasn't in the correct sort order, so I just simply changed some of the dates to force...
All,
The field that has the value "c03" has been formatted like so: \cyy and it is a date field.
I would like to do the suggestion from BNPMike about stripping characters, but I would like to do this on a form with this new field hidden.
Maybe I could create another field on a form...
