I could learn about these triggers, but I was hoping to find a quicker easier way to do it. Do you know of an easier way to do this with grids?

>I am using a grid in some cases to modify data directly in the grid with the columns' datasource linked to certain fields. I like to keep an audit trail showing when data is changed, who made the change, what the old value was, new one, etc. With text boxes, we have the got focus and lost focus, so I store the value of the field/object in gotfocus into a temp variable, then in lostfocus, if the new value of the field is different than the temp variable, then I use my audit trail table and log the changes. The problem is that columns in grids don't have lost and gotfocus events. They have before/after row change, but that could go up or down and involve inefficient code. Does anyone have any good suggestions of how I can EFFICIENTLY perform this task doing modifications on fields within a grid?

If you use triggers, any change will be recorded, whether it be from a grid, a BROWSE window, a REPLACE command, etc.

If these are new concepts for you, see my following introductory articles:
