automatically recording date

[Patrick]

In my form, I want to be able to have the date automatically entered for a
record, after a change or modification is made to an existing record.

Add a LastModified Date/Time field to your table.

In your form's BeforeUpdate event, add code to set that field to Now().

Use the form's Current event:
Me.txtMyDateField = Date()

I don't think that's really what you want. That'll update the date every
time you access it, even if no change was made.

Try the OnDirty Event


That says a change was made somewhere.

I still think BeforeUpdate is a more appropriate event.
