    Keeping records of updates in Access

    Hi,

    I need to keep a record of changes i make in an access DB. I.e, when i make an update to the price of an object identified by two fields, i want to keep a record of the date and time in the DB.
    can this be done by creating another table?

    Thanks

    Search for "Audit Log" or "Audit Table".

      Allen Browne has a detailed explanation on how to do this:

      How to create an audit log to record the history of changes to records in a Microsoft Access database - edits, inserts, and deletions.


      But be forewarned, this is not simple nor is there a simple way to do this!

        Thanks for those. I think i'm going to try and go with the append records method. this will allow me to keep a record of everytime i make a change ( i'm the only one who is making the changes.)

        I'll be back with more questions for sure though!!
