Date / Time Stamp on 4.1 How does this work?

ASPRunnerPro General questions

Prior to upgrading to 4.1, I had a project with a hidden date/time field that would auto update whenever that record was updated.
I had done that by making the field a HIDDEN field. Now since the newer version doesn't have the hidden field, I can't seem to determine how to update on Edits. It works fine on ADD but not on the Edits.
I have the field set for NOW() in the default.
Any help would be appreciatted. Thanks

Steve,
use Before record updated event for this purpose.

Here is a sample code:

Function BeforeEdit(dict, where)

dict("FieldName")=Now()

BeforeEdit = True
End Function



where Fieldname is your actual field name.

Also you can remove this field from the EDIT page on the Choose fields tab in the ASPRunnerPro.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH....

I tried removing the field from the EDIT page, but that didn't work for me....however when I inserted the custom code into the Event tab, it worked very well. Thank you! I've just updated to 4.1 and so I'm on a huge learning curve but this new version is fantastic!!!!!
Again, Thank you for that help. Now...on to try the other modifications and see if I can master that.
