I am on a mission to develop a crude Change Order System. When a table gets updated, what options are available to compare the Before and After to log which columns actually changed? It would also be nice to have both values, Before and After, for any column that changed. Any guidance would...

Works great Tom, Thank you. I am working on getting the same results from code. (Learning Experience) Bear with me on my terminology: How can I take a metadata value and address it as a table name? Example: OUTPUT TO C:\TableList-RowCount.txt. REPEAT: FIND NEXT _file. REPEAT...

Parul, I am bound to a canned software package that has the Write Trigger compiled in. I do not have access to this trigger. Nor do I have access to the UI code. Is there any options to force an ID field to be uppercased upon creation or immediatly therer after? Mike
