 Record modification date information?

Hi,

I'm trying to find out if Access stores a record's last
modification date in its system tables so I can retrieve
and display it in a form.  Note that I'm using Access 97
on some systems, so a solution must be compatible with
that version.  Can't seem to find this info anywhere...  
Thanks!

No, there is no create or change date associated with a
record.  If you want to have that kind of thing, then you
have to add a field to the table and set the value yourself.
This is easy to do in a data entry form using a single line
of code in the form's BeforeUpdate event procedure:

        Me.DateModified = Now
