   Howdy,   
      
   I added a date field (called ViewDate) to a particular table   
   because I want a form that displays that table to behave in   
   the following way:   
      
   I wanted ViewDate to display today() whenever a record was   
   viewed (whether or not it was modified.)   
      
   The form is set up so that the cursor goes to a LastName   
   field when the form opens, and so, on the arrive of that   
   field, I just put in a line of code to modify ViewDate.   
      
   I set the arrive of LastName simply as:   
      
   edit()   
   ViewDate = today()   
   endEdit()   
      
   but then saw that I was in a continuous loop of locking, and   
   unlocking the record.   
      
   What is the proper way to approach this?   
      
   Sincere thanks,   
   --   
   Kenneth
