Stuart, If the field is the only (or first) timestamp-type field in the table columns, then the record will automatically have the current date/time inserted when it is added. The only (or first) timestamp field will *also* be updated every time you update the record.
View the timestamp field in the manual for how to create it. Cheers Terry ----- Original Message ----- > I think this can be done, but tried a few times with > no success.
