lastmodified property in table

Hi,
I'd like to use the lastmodified property in a table (not a form), that will "tell me" when a specific field in records was last modified.

I.e. - If field A is being changed, I'd like the field "DateA" in that record to hold the lastUpdated value of this change.

I do not need a form. just a table.
Btw - Is it possible to use vba in a table (not a form?) If so, how?

Thanks

what database system are you using?

in my experience with MySQL, the TIMESTAMP datatype will automatically update itself to the current date whenever its corresponding row is edited and commited.

if you're using access i'm not sure... although i do know that it's a piece of crap and a complete waste of bloody time.
