This section describes how to create a field to track the date of the last document modification. When implemented, the current date (and optionally time) is automatically stored in the specified field.
How It Works
A computed field on the document is automatically updated every time the document is saved.
Implementation
To implement this solution, create a computed field on a form. In the properties dialog, set the field type to Date/Time and Computed on tab 1. By default, the field properties will display only the time, so to display the date and time in the field, switch to tab 2 and select both the date and time options (see Figure 14.9).

After the field properties are set, add the following formula in the Programmer's pane.
result := @If (@IsDocBeingSaved; @Now; @ThisName); result
