Hi Sabine

Thank you for your question.

As you can only store one value per field, what you could consider doing is creating a separate table to store comments and the date and time they were entered.

This table could then be linked to records in your existing table by creating a relationship between the existing table and the Comments table.

To view the comment history, you would need to create a subdatasheet in a table or a subform in a form or a query.

To show the last comment, use the LAST function.

I hope this helps.
Amanda

Access tip:

Choosing data types in Access

Not sure which data type to use for your Access fields? Here are some guidelines to help you choose a data type to assign to a field.

- The Text data type can accept up to 255 characters. For information that will be recorded in paragraphs, use Memo.

- Also use Text for numbers that aren't going to be used in calculations, e.g. phone numbers.

- Use the Currency data type for monetary amounts.

- Use Date/Time for dates.

- Most other numbers can use the Number data type, but the Field Size property may have to be altered.

- For fields that have only two alternatives (yes, no) use Yes/No data type. If there is likely to be a third entry option (e.g. maybe or don't know) use Text instead.
