Hi James,

When I had a similar requirement (no buffering, had to write to tables a FPD app still accessed), I added a property called 'OriginalVal' to each control.

Populated 'OriginalVal' in GotFocus(), compared in LostFocus(), populated a cursor with appropriate info and updated the logging table when the transaction was saved.
