How to set up access to keep a histroy of what was in a feild before it gets change

1 New Member
I need to keep a history of what was entered in a field and save. The user will have to be able to pull the information as report showing a story of changes.

How do I do this in Access 2007?

You could keep a before/after state log for all changes. Additions wouldn't have a before-state and deletions wouldn't have an after-state. Clearly, each log would need to be date/time stamped if it's to be of much use.

This could get quite voluminous.

I create a new user and make them a member of Admins. I then log on as that user and try to modify an existing query. I'm told that I don't have the necessary permissions. The Admins group has full permissions on the query. The new user can create new queries and modify them, but the database owner cannot modify these queries, even though the database owner explicitly had Administer permission on them. A possible related issue is that...

I have a Windows form that displays a database table in a DataGrid.

Here are some observations: 1) When changes are typed into a text box and "Save" is clicked, the changes are reflected in the DataSet.Tables().Rows().ItemArray value, but...

I know services don't have user tokens - I suspect users do have tokens, hence "user token", otherwise we might call them "service tokens" or somesuch :-) If you read the question again, you migh see that the fundamental question is, *assuming there is no other approach*: The...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
