AUdit trail

[Elainie]

I have two tables, Placement Details and Placement History. I have 2
forms, Placement Details and Placement History. 5 fields from the
placement details fields need to update fields in the placement history
fields.

name
placement
funding
effectivedate
authdate

I need to do an audit trail of these fields for future use. When an
old person leaves a nursing home then the placement history must stay
the same as the old placement but they enter the new placement in the
placement details form. Therefore building up a history of when that
person moves homes.

Please help - tried the update expression but it does not appear to be
working

Hi Elaine.

It looks to me like you need to establish a one-to-many relationship between
your tables - for every one placement you can have many "history" details,
so have your placement details in the "one" table and the fields you listed
above in the "many" history table.
