View Data - Time Stamp not recording

boogieman 13 Nov, 2008
Hi All,

I have made some great forms, this product is really great I'm happy i purchased it! I have a question....

I have attached a form to a db and i can view the data by clicking on the table in "Forms Management". Under the properties of any form there is "DataView Fields", within this page there is "Main View Record:" with an entry "Record #n" I assume that this shows "Record ID" and "Date-Time". I have numerous records in my db, and none show any timestamp of the creation of that record. Am I doing something wrong? Do I have to add an additional field to my db to display this information? Please help.

~Thanks :wink:

Hi boogieman,

There's a recordtime field that is usually added automatically by ChronoForms when you create the database table. It's one of the pre-checked fields (see image).

BUT - I'm not sure if this field is used to write the date/time entry that you see in the record manager? Max may have a better answer, if not I'll go dig in the code pater today.

Hi boogieman,

Just as Bob said, I think you unchecked this one! try creating a new table and make sure those fields are checked!
