It sounds like you are looking for a date stamp on each row. If there is no column that is setup for it then you are out of luck. Dan Goldberg

I am an individual RBase user -not a programmer and have only intermediate computer knowledge. Though I have used RBase since early Dos days, my expertise/knowledge of this program is limited only to what I needed to learn for my personal data entry, forms and reports. So I'm sure 98% of the complex programming you will be discussing here will be way over my head, but thought it couldn't hurt to ask for help if I had a few questions. I have the latest RBase version now. Question. Is there any way I can search for rows (or print out report) in a database table by the actual date the row was entered if the table does NOT have an autodate column to search by (i.e., does R:Base create a date (hidden) for each row that is added or modified that is searchable)? I have thousands of rows and didn't want to take space in the old days for autodate column, and if I try to add now, will only get the same current date the column is added (invalid for all previous entries). Thank you in advance. Cathy Huntington Beach, Ca
