Heathbo Posted May 11, 2005 Posted May 11, 2005 I'm looking for a simple way to automatically place a checkmark in a box if the record has been edited. I assume the easiest way to go would be by creating a field that automatically enters the modification date. From this point I can't figure out how to automatically checkmark a check box. Any help you can give is much appreciated.
Lee Smith Posted May 11, 2005 Posted May 11, 2005 Why not just create an Audit or Field Modification file? See Solutions & Suggestions >> Sample Files & Open Source Solutions for some samples on this, start with Bob Weaver's Yet another Audit Trail HTH Lee
Heathbo Posted May 12, 2005 Author Posted May 12, 2005 I am new to Audit and Field Modification files. Basically what I need is, I have a layout where users can enter info for records. What I need is to be able to keep track of which records the users changed and have a script that exports all the changed records into one file and emails it to a coded email address. Does this make sense? Does this seem cluncky?
Dan-A Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 could you use a calculated field that holds a "timestamp" of the last modification date & one that holds a creation date. From that do as "comment" suggest in the previous post...compare the dates and script your e-mail to be sent from that point on. HTH Dan
