I am trying to replace a current process which involves a whole person compiling mulitple MS Word documents written by multiple people in multiple formats. I will have the users enter their info directly into a db. At times they will alter their inputs, in which case the edits must be captured and the orig info retained. The gov't agency we deal with requires that changes to our documents are retained. Currently, when using MS Word, they turn on the TRACK CHANGES feature to capture that info, which then gets submitted to the gov't agency with the tracking notations in tack (strikout thru deleted words, bold for added words, etc). I'm looking all over but it looks like that type of feature is not available in Access. Just checking to see if any of you know differently. Thanks.
 
No, it is not available in the form you are thinking. A method of tracking changes could be developed, but would require substantial development - not just an option setting.
 
that's what I figured. Thanks for the confirmation. I'm rethinking how much i can 'help' this mostly manual process.

thanks for the put.
