Dale Derix | Using ElevateDB Manager, I've created a trigger to update the DateEdited field with the current date whenever a record is edited (updated). On the General tab, I have Action Time set to "Before", and Type set to "Update". The SQL tab is as follows. BEGIN SET NEWROW.ctDateEdited = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(); END When I edit a record (by opening the table in the ElevateDB Manager), the value of the DateEdited field does not change. Do I also need to set something in the Columns tab or the Condition tab? I want this trigger to fire anytime anything changes in the record. Thanks. Dale |

Could you post the actual SQL that was generated from the SQL History window in the EDB Manager ? (Explorer menu/SQL History item) I tried the same thing here with 2.02 B3: CREATE TRIGGER "TimeStampTest" BEFORE UPDATE ON "customer" BEGIN SET NEWROW.LastInvoiceDate = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(); END and it works fine. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

Dale Derix | I'm sorry Tim. It seems to be working now. I hope I didn't waste too much of your time. Dale |
