Hi,<br />
<br />
..I have tried multiple fixes here but no joy .. 3 hours later..<br />
<br />
I have written an audit trail.<br />
There is an additional &quot;memo&quot; field on each record &quot;Auditmemo&quot;.<br />
&nbsp;(Uses OldValue etc).<br />
<br />
The audit trail works perfectly on form &quot;AA_ThisWorks&quot;. (Note the unique record ID in grey on left of screen). &nbsp;<br />
The before update event of form is &quot;=audit()&quot;.<br />
<br />
All good so far!<br />
However, when I try to use this audit trail on another form or table &nbsp;... the following happens.<br />
<br />
PROBLEM: See AA_ThisFails<br />
If there is more than <b>one</b> change to a single record then <b>ONLY the last change</b> is recorded in the &quot;Auditmemo&quot; field,<br />
<br />
WHY ?? &nbsp;This works fine in AA_ThisWorks<br />
<br />
(The Audit buttons on the screen may help to understand my problem).<br />
I have hidden some forms/tables from view for simplification<br />
<br />
<br />
All Help greatly appreciated on this one .... it has been frustrating me for hours.<br />
<br />
<br />

Hi,

..I have tried multiple fixes here but no joy .. 3 hours later..

I have written an audit trail.
There is an additional "memo" field on each record "Auditmemo".
 (Uses OldValue etc).

The audit trail works perfectly on form "AA_ThisWorks". (Note the unique record ID in grey on left of screen).  
The before update event of form is "=audit()".

All good so far!
However, when I try to use this audit trail on another form or table  ... the following happens.

PROBLEM: See AA_ThisFails
If there is more than one change to a single record then ONLY the last change is recorded in the "Auditmemo" field,

WHY ??  This works fine in AA_ThisWorks

(The Audit buttons on the screen may help to understand my problem).
I have hidden some forms/tables from view for simplification


All Help greatly appreciated on this one .... it has been frustrating me for hours.
