Auto Update Question

[LionsCricket]

Hello,
I am trying to create a feature in my database that will auto populate the date in my "last updated" field whenever someone clicks the "save record" button on a form. The intention is to be able to see the last day that changes were made to an exisiting record. I can't figure out how to do this, I built this database using the web and a book, so I am pretty novice.

Many thanks in advace to any help you can give me.

In the code behind the button:

Me.TextboxName = Now()

where TextboxName is the name of the textbox bound to that field.

Thank you pbbaldy, I would like to use the "save record" button as the item the field is bound to. Is that possible?

Many, many thanks.

I don't think so. I'd just have a textbox on the form bound to that field. It can be hidden from the user.
