I'm using FM 8 Advanced and need help recording changes to some fields from a record to another table occurance in the same file. Do I have to do a script full of go to: field 1 copy paste

field 2 copy paste field 3 copy paste ....?

I could do a copy record but it only pastes delimited text in to one field. I really want to keep the data usable and clean.

Thanks for any help.

Maybe I'm not fully understanding what you are asking. Do you mean like an Audit or Field Modification Tracker?

Yes a field modification tracker would be beautiful.

What I'm doing now is requiring the user to press button(s) (Scripted) to initiate changes to the database.

There is an example of how to do this at my web site. Here is the link:

Besides JMO's fine example file, there are some others demo, or example files that can be found here at the Forum. If you do a search for [color:blue]"Audit" , you should get a lot of hits.

Excellent Thanks.

I've been using this plugin (works beautifully! Thanks.)for a year now but when I deployed a new machine and installed FM Pro 8 the plugin won't load. It just isn't visible in the plugin window of Filemaker. Works on other machines with FM Pro and FM 8 Advanced.

Any Ideas? Win XP SP2. It is a VLA version of FM Pro 8.
