Ok, this ones pretty basic... 

Anyone have a good routine to build a timestamp field?

david

What I have just started doing for a timestamp is using three fields: 
*date + time + Userid.  (Don't anyone tell Carr, but I am taking his
advice.  I've described the date field as an L-date field.) *DATE is
available, Time is easy to get, and the current user ID is in the system
data structure and also easy to get.  In this way I am using fields
outside the control of the user or the program.   My hope is that this
proves both easy and reliable.
