A TIMESTAMP column ought to do exactly what you're looking for. Don't specify it as NOT NULL, don't set a default value. If you still have problems, try posting the exact CREATE or ALTER statement that you use, and don't forget to tell us which version of MySQL you're using. / Carsten -- Carsten H.
