Audit Trail

I am currently using an audit trail, but it appears that it it only updating
at initial data entry, i a new record. It is not updating any subsequent
changes made to the record in the following weeks.....
here is a copy of the audit trail (i did try allen brownes but the
installation of was beyond my ability, so have reverted to the exisitng
one....)
Function AuditTrail()
On Error GoTo Err_Handler

Dim MyForm As Form, C As Control, xName As String
Set MyForm = Screen.ActiveForm

'Set date and current user if form has been updated.
MyForm!Updates = MyForm!Updates & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & _
"Changes made on " & Date & " by " & CurrentUser() & ";"

'If new record, record it in audit trail and exit sub.
If MyForm.NewRecord = True Then
MyForm!Updates = MyForm!Updates & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & _
"New Record """
End If

'Check each data entry control for change and record
'old value of Control.
For Each C In MyForm.Controls

'Only check data entry type controls.
Select Case C.ControlType
Case acTextBox, acComboBox, acListBox, acOptionGroup
' Skip Updates field.
If C.Name <> "Updates" Then

' If control was previously Null, record "previous
' value was blank."
If IsNull(C.OldValue) Or C.OldValue = "" Then
MyForm!Updates = MyForm!Updates & Chr(13) & _
Chr(10) & C.Name & "--previous value was blank"

' If control had previous value, record previous value.
ElseIf C.Value <> C.OldValue Then
MyForm!Updates = MyForm!Updates & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & _
C.Name & "==previous value was " & C.OldValue
End If
End If
End Select
Next C

TryNextC:
Exit Function

Err_Handler:
If Err.Number <> 64535 Then
MsgBox "Error #: " & Err.Number & vbCrLf & "Description: " &
Err.Description
End If
Resume TryNextC
End Function
