I have a form which includes a combobox field (Status) with about 5 
different options. I also have a number of timestamp fields that I 
want to update based on when the field in the combo box changes.

This is easy if the update is just based on what i change the combo 
field to, as I add this to the BeforeUpdate event

If Me!Status = "Working" Then
  Me!Change1TimeStamp = Now
etc.

But I want the update to be based on what the field changes from & 
to, so I want soemthing like

If Me!Status(original) = "Broken" AND Me!Status(newvalue) = "Working" 
Then
  Me!Change1TimeStamp = Now
etc.

But i cant see how I can access the pre-change value .. can anyone 
help

PS - I would prefer not to have to use unbound fields as it means 
more rework :)
