Cathy, Sorry, RBase does not have any hidden fields such as date row added. What you see is what you get. Perhaps there is data within each record that you can use to classify each row.
Do be aware in using a computed date column under certain activities such as RELOAD or RESTORE the date will be reset to the date of that activity. Your safest bet is to add and maintain such fields programatically maintain such fields.

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
