How can I keep record of when a record is updated . Mabe w/ a date field


Tahnk you for your help.
 
There are a few ways. Here is one.

1. Create a Date/Time field on the record.
2. Now on the form that is used to update the record (I am assuming these updates come from a form) create an invisible textbox with the new Date/Time field as the ControlSource.
3. Set the format of this textbox to General Date if you wish to include the time also.
4. In the Form's BeforeUpdate event put

TextBoxName = Now()

I am running a update query. Not a form. Is there anything in the querry that I can do.
 
Again this is the most novice approach...

1. Create a Date/Time field in the table.
2. Now in the query is used to update the record add this Date/Time field and in on it's Update To line put Now()

B-)

Will that work?
