Adding 'Last Edited' Date

[vCallNSPF]

my databse has different kinds of equipment that all need to be displayed in one giant report, however each subreport for each piece of equipment needs to have a 'last edited' date in the report header.



i know this would be done through a form, as pretty much whenever a form is used i want the date updated on the corresponding subreport

thanks

well let me get this straight you have different reports which are most probably connected to different tables and each of this tables are most probably edited through forms. Now there are many ways to solve this problem. Insert a field called update_date in each of your tables. Now make sure you have the update_date field in your forms. Now if you are using a Command Button to save records which is the general practice as we all like to validate our data before it is saved. You can add this code on the OnClick event of your save Button.
Me.update_date=Date()
so when ever you save your data the current date is saved.
