Hi Cathy!
As far as I know, if you did not capture a date at the time the record was
entered there isn't a way to get that 'date entered' for them. If you are not
collecting this yet and wish to for future records, with 7.6/V8 I can do it in
5 mouse clicks.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Help - select by date where date not column
This group is way out of my league, so I hope this is an acceptable question
for you. 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.
