- Does having an auto modification date preclude linking Filemaker Pro files?
-
- In our db, we have defined one of the fields as an auto-entry field for
- the modification date. So, everytime I change the data in a record, the
- date will change to reflect this. The problem arises when we do a
- 'relookup' - we have two dbs linked, and if you do a relookup, it obviously
- does a comparison search on every single record and therefore updates the
- modification date for every single record!
-
- We are currently running Filemaker Pro 1.0v3, but we also have a copy of 2.0
- in-house.
