Capture date modified if reference field changes

Question

Hi Everyone ,  I am currently in a project where i need to give data changes which has happened from past 1 week  .  Initially it looked easy as we have date modified in each and every table. But the catch is in almost every table there are reference field ( table to table relationship) . If those column changes  then the reference table date modified does not change. For Eg . If in Table A  , table B is being referenced the changes happens in table B get reflected to table A but date modified does not change. Any advise please

If lu want to have a parent know that maximum Date Modified of it�s children, then make a summary field of the Maximum Date Modified of its children.

Then have a field that calculates the

Max([Date Modified Of Children], [Date Modified])

You can use this same technique with lookup fields as well when you are going �down� instead of Iup.

Thank you ,&nbsp; Yes your solution worked . But the only issue which I have at the moment is that my Parent table is connected to 30-40 child table, which requires me to create 30 date modified&nbsp; columns.&nbsp; Would you recommend to do the same or if there is any other solution.&nbsp;

Yep, so you need 30 summary fields.&nbsp; If it takes you 1 minute per field (it will take less that that once you get into a rhythm), it's still only a half hour.&nbsp; Put on some music and just go at 'er.
