Hey All,

I have searched for the past 1 hour and couldnt find the exact situation I am in. I will try my best to explain where I am at:

I have a form that is bound to a table that users can access to comment on specific issues pertaining to an item. Each row in the table is a unique set of data that is specific to that item number.

I have 2 fields that the user can edit. The first one is a drop-down that contains specific comments that the user can select. The second is a 'free-form comment' section where the user can elaborate on a solution to the issue.

Where I struggle is how to save any changes a user makes to these records. For instance if they need to change a selection from the drop down menu, or update their free-form comment, I want to update the update field for that item only.

The Update field gets updated like this:

Code:
Me.Last_Comment_Update = "User: " & fOSUserName() & " - Date: " & Date

fOSUserName() is a function used to get the user's window's login. I have this VBA line to run in the Form_BeforeUpdate event on the Form and it works fine, but only updates all records, not the record where the change was made.

Any insight on how I can limit this update to only the record that was being update would be sublime. :banghead: :D
 
Attach the code to the fields After Update event and not to the form as a whole.
 
Absolutely perfect. Thank you so much! :) :D
