Keep the old records as reference before delete or modify

Some times im going to edit the particular employee information.

Search the forums for "audit trail".

You can get the WorldSync FM DataGuard or SyncDeck plug-in or you'd have to store the records history in a separate table (archive), every time you edit. It's much easier to get the plug-in.

You can do this in native FileMaker as Vaughan suggested. Do a search for “field modification” or “audit log” and that should return an abundance of hits. I just did this in Google and the 1st hit was for Ray J. Cologon of Nightwing Enterprises, see link, you should see several other links to topics with files returned by your searches, as this is a never-ending need. Some of files will show how to follow one or more fields depending upon what you are trying to accomplish. I would start with Ray's file here http://www.nightwing...s8/demo809.html .
