Comparing record with original when saving

>>I believe that he wants to compare the current values
to the original values - if you want to do that at the
time the record is saved, then I believe that you do
need an array to store the original values.

The older Filepro manual has a solution for this that doesn't use a lot
of code.

What you do is create a qualifier for the file.  On entering update copy
the record to the qualified file and record the record number of that
record in a dummy field.  When saving the record run a loop to compare
each field with the same field in the qualified record.  If you only
have to compare the item records then simply start the loop at that
field.  A simple MOD statement will tell you which of the detail items
of the associated fields you are dealing with.

When you're done you can delete the qualified record.
