Mike,
What I've done is update the lDate field when ANY field is updated. I put the code in the Interactive Change event. It works the same as code that enables SAVE/CANCEL buttons when any field is updated.

The code in SAVE isn't used at all - it's just one more field to be updated during the SAVE.

I have subclassed controls that handle this. If I don't need to update the date stamp for certain fields these controls have their 'timestamp' property set to F and the code doesn't run.

I'm not sure what you are asking about your SAVE code - it looks like it'll run through all the cursors. I HAVE found that the '2' parameter in TableUpdate() doesn't always return the correct value.

>I want to save the date (an maybe time) of the last time a User modified data in my app. So in my save procedure I determine if the any field in the record has been changed. Then I save the current date to the to the ldate field in my tables. There also is an fdate field where the default value is date().

>My question is : is this a kosher way of doing things? Also, I only want to save the date if a any one field has been changed, I thought this seemed obvious but I havn't been getting the results I wanted. The current save code on my DE forms looks something like:
