I'd like to attach a permanent, uneditable stamp on a record once its entered - date&time record first entered, and the initials/name of the person who entered it, from a drop down menu. How can I make sure that this initial stamp isn't changed?
RE: Access 2003 / 2007 Forms
Hi Pete, thanks for your query. When the user enters the information into the form and it is submitted, simply include a few more bits of information to be added to the database behind the scenes. I think we discussed lifting the user name from the local profile of the machine, but this might be using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Provide an "initials" textbox on the form and make it a required field, then append whatever the user puts into the text box that to the record when the form is submitted. Same with the date, all though remember you could append "=now()" to a date field on the record to automate this.
Hope this helps,
Anthony
