Add Record, Change Record, Delete Record (1 Viewer)

[Ricky]

I have a data entry form which my CSRs are tracking customer information. I would like to have the information stored based on 3 actions Add, Change and Delete. I have a table (master) with your typical customer information fields plus master.datechanged master.datedeleted and master.introdate.

I envision when a user makes a change to a record, the record is updated and then a date in inserted into the master.datechanged field for that record.

Anyone have ideas on how this could be accomplished?

In the BeforeUpdate event of the form, place the code to update the update date and updated by fields.

Me.UpdatedBy = CurrentUser()
Me.LstUpdtDt = Now()

To update the Created by fields, put defaults in the table design.

Thanks for the reply. I have changed the forms around a bit to only allow new in one form, to change or delete they need to access another form. In this scenario

Me.UpdatedBy = CurrentUser()
Me.LstUpdtDt = Now()

In the BeforeUpdate event would trigger regardless of Change or delete...Would there be a way either via a command button to populate the action field based on the actual action?
