I know you can create a field that shows the Modification date of a record. My question is, in FM 5 can you create a field that shows the modification date of a specific field. IF not does any other versions have this function.

Thanks in advance.

You could try a stored calculation field with a formula like:

Case( WatchedField or not WatchedField , Status(CurrentDate) )

However, being a calculation field, it will have some problems - for example, it will be difficult to move your data to a newer file. It's much easier in version 7 and above, where you can use an auto-entered field that updates when a referenced field is modified.
