    ColumnHistory method including blank values

    Hi everyone,

    i am using the ColumnHistory method on a memo field on an Access form. The issue I am having is that it places a time stamp each time I open the form. Is there a way to only have the historical data appear when a new text comment is added in the txtComments field and not every time the form is opened when nothing is entered?

    the code I am using is:

    ControlSource =ColumnHistory([RecordSource],"Notes","[ID]=" & Nz([ID],0))

    My form properties are set to
    Data Entry No
    Allow Additions Yes
    Allow Deletions Yes
    Allow Edits Yes

    Thank you for any help!

    You have the AppendOnly set to Yes on that Notes field? I don't get a timestamp like you say, it opens to the first record on my form and displays each update to that memo field with the timestamp of the update like it is supposed to.

    Do you have a default value maybe for that memo field or some other field where it is thinking it is a new entry?

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
