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. ----- Original Message ----- From: cfgrimes To: RBASE-L Mailing List Sent: Friday, February 27, 2009 7:46 AM 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. Cathy Huntington Beach, Ca
