Hi everyone, I have created a database to keep track of built items at our production facility. The main table [dbo_Orders] is from a server and I have created a 'make table' query [qry_CasingSets] from it. That table feeds an archive table [qry_CasingSetsAppend] that saves the data when a user types in a field that automatically time stamps the date/time in the field. I have the field data set as [dbo_Orders]![plannedshipdate]+2 and then that field shows white font with a white background so that it appears blank but when you click on it, the field is updated with the now(). The problem is however that when the table is re-queried, the original formula of [plannedshipdate]+2 is shown and the archived time/date goes away. How do keep it up so that when an employee refreshes it stays up as completed time/date?
