If a user opens the database and does not enable macros, the macro will not time-stamp the records. If you store the database in a trusted location, macros are automatically enabled. If a user edits records, but does not use a data-entry form that contains the macro that time-stamps records, the records that the user edits will not be time-stamped.
Because the date and time are stored in table fields, the values in those fields get overwritten every time that a record is modified. In other words, you can only store the date and time of the most recent modification. If you only want to capture the date and time that a record is created, just add a field to the table and set that field's Default Value property to Now or Date. If your database file has an older file format and uses user-level security, you must have permissions to change the design of the table and the forms that are used to edit its records.
Create a field to store the date. Create a field to store the time. After you create the fields, create a macro to time-stamp those fields. To make the macro reusable with other tables, refer only to the field names, not the table names. Note: If you only want to record the date or the time, omit the macro action that you do not need. On the Create tab, in the Other group, click Macro. If this command is unavailable, click the arrow beneath either the Module or the Class Module button, and then click Macro.
First, show all available macro actions. The SetValue action is considered potentially unsafe and is hidden by default, because it can change data.
