I am currently using Win7 ent. and Access 2007.
what I am trying to do is call an audit trail module that I came across on the Before Update action.
Currently I have validation that will occur if the user chooses to save their changes, the function that I am trying to add the ability to save an audit trail of changes if the user chooses to save their changes.
The error occurs when "Call AUDIT_TRAIL" is reached. At that point I receive an invalid use of property error. Below you will find the audit trail module
Code: Select all
Public Function AUDIT_TRAIL()
On Error GoTo Err_Audit_Trail
