If you’ve been developing in Notes for any amount of time, one thing you’ve probably accumulated in your “bag of tricks” is an “Edit History” subform where the dates/times of the most recent edits are shown. Here, I’ll talk about our basic edit history subform. This is called “basic” because it only shows overall edits (who and when) instead of tracking changes to specific fields. Tracking changes to fields is a lot more involved, so I’ll leave that for another time.

It’s only applicable if you’re using your own OK/Cancel buttons in a dialog box (as opposed to the buttons that Notes generates). For those of you that don’t know, you can specify your own OK and Cancel buttons in a dialog box. All you have to do is add a hotspot button to your dialog box form/subform and choose “OK” or “Cancel” (there’s also one for “Help”) under the “Type” of button.
