Attached is a class (derived from FileManager) that I wrote to generate a Guid for me on Inserts. And it timestamps on every Update. Before it gets a Guid, it checks that the first field is of type CSTRING and is named SYSID. Before it timestamps, it checks that the last two fields are DATE and TIME, and their names are DateModified_DATE and DateModified_TIME. So, you'll probably have to modify the code a little to do exactly what you want. But it was very simple for me to override the FileManager class in my data DLL and never have to worry about it again. Thanks, Harley The attached files are listed below as hjsql.inc and hjsql.clw:
