Will you be able to help!

One one of the databases I found that the current i.e. User, Date or Time not updating. 

However, on others it seem to work perfectly well.

Can you give an idea in what circumstances this happens? In a form, report, etc?

AS

To preserver current Date, user etc. is a property of the Application.

You simply go to Application Preferences and uncheck the "Preserve old CURRENT DATE, etc, on modify" .

Sorry but that was the first place I thought of looking.

Please find attached screen shot of my Application Preferences.

What I also notice, if I check mark the box and close then go back, it unchecked itself.

It never states checked.

Hi Again Joe.

If memory don't fail me the default for this was changed for applications somewhere along the lines. I was not around during the 6.x era but I was a user and I have a vague memory of this.

Obviously now this switch don't work (have checked myself) so it is not straight forward to change the default setting for the application but the default setting is just for new forms anyway.

The settings is inherited by a form when you create it and that setting will not change when you change the default anyway.

So to change this you go into the Document Properties on each document you want to NOT preserve the CURRENT DATE etc.

And switch it off.

Have tested and it works.
