Tracking date field change using calc?

Featured Replies

Hello,

I was wondering if someone can help me. i am trying to keep track of date change on database i am creating. Basically this database keep track of another database when changes are made to any of the fields. i got some of the fields to work but not the fields which are date. it does return the right info from the date field.

this is my calc i have:

If(lookup key cal = 1 & incrementer, "", "") & "Field:

Not quite sure I understand what it is or isn't doing.

I'm not sure if the ! exclamation mark is having any effect on this, but I would stay away from using any FileMaker operators in my naming of fields.

(i.e. DateToText (end date) just like you did in the first part.
