    Running log of dates


    I would like to have the update field display ALL dates in which data has been added/deleted from each record. What is the best way to go about doing this?

    Where are you storing these dates, in a separate Table? For a given Record, this type of Field would normally be populated with the date each time a change was made, on that Record, rather than separately storing each date elsewhere.

    And depending on how many of these dates there are likely to be, a Listbox might be a better way to display them, or even a small Subform. With a Subform, you could simply link the the Form/Subform using whatever unique identifier you're currently using.

    It's being stored in a table, and I enter the data through a form. The problem is each date for each record is overwritten with the most current date change. I want a record of all dates for each record.

    Memo fields can maintain a history of changes. Review http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ac...080750367.aspx

    For other fields you will have to save records. Review
