Field level timestamp

[simonen]

Does FileMaker 7 offer a way to timestamp each field of your choosing to keep track of when changes were last made to that field?

I am attempting to build a small synchronization system to perform data replication and I would only like to transfer data that has changed.

Thanks,

Basically for every field that you want to track like this, you need a timestamp field. This needs to auto-enter the calculation "Evaluate ( Get ( CurrentTimeStamp ) ; [ TheFieldYouWantToTrack ] )" and you need to allow it to replace the existing value.

I see, that is kinda what I figured...I was hoping that this would be a field option that I was over-looking, but no such luck. Thanks, I will give this a try.
