is there a way to create a field, hidden from my users, to track who made the last modification--based on their login info?

[Ted S]

Yes.

[chasm24]

great!

can you tell me how to do it?

much appreciated

[Ted S]

Sorry, just being a wise guy.

You could create a couple fields; one for the name of the person who last modified the record and the other for the date and time the record was modified.

You don't need to put them on your layout.

With your new field highlighted (under DEFINE DATABASE) choose OPTIONS and then on the AUTO-ENTER tab choose to have the MODIFICATION DateTime auto entered in one field and the Account Name in the other.

I know I have suggested how to search for past threads with like subjects or topics in the past, so I won't go into this again.

Keywords

+Audit +Trail, or

+Field +Modification, or

+Field +Tracking

this should return a bunch of threads on this subject, most have example files attached or linked.
