Subject: Auto-update a field when record is changed
Date: Fri, 22 Aug 2003 23:32:47 -0400
Message-ID: <200308222332.47526.sfbarbee@yahoo.com> (raw)

Folks,

	I was wandering if there was a feasible way to automatically update a field 
in a table, say 'revision_date' in a record whenever any other field in the 
record is changed.  My attempts to use a trigger caused repeating loops and 
bombed with error.  I would like to be able to update such a field 
automatically anytime a record was updated.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Stuart
