Hi Gawie, you have to use the timestamp column type for auto-updates. Set the default to NULL and it will be set/updated when you insert or update a record. See here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/TIMESTAMP_pre-4.1.html Hope this helps. Torsten -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
