Is there an Rbase environment variable that can be checked from within an .EEP
that can tell me if the form has received any updates?  (R:base 6.5+ Build 1,839)
 
I found myself in a "catch-22" when trying to implement a simple routine to track
who was the last logged-in user of the database who performed an "update" of a row
thru a form.
 
The customer wanted to find the user(s) who were not following the correct data-entry
procedure.  However, after "they" exited the form I was setting "them" to be the last user
(thus circumventing the whole routine for checking!).
 
Ideally, once the form is invoked, it should be able to be viewed, and as long as no column
is updated (via the keyboard/mouse) the previously listed user in that row should remain untouched.
If the user should happen to perform any keyboard/mouse update on a column/radio-button/chkbox, etc...
the flag can be checked in thie .EEP and determine if the currently logged in user should be "updated"
in the row.
 
TIA
