Just a few thoughts.....
GetFldState should work on the table therefore applies to all users. (but I have had problems with it in the past)
If the record in question was marked for delete than recalled it will still show up as status changed.
If the first number is returned as 2 then it could have been triggered by a edit also.
Deleted() could be used.
Correct me if anyone disagrees..........
