Re: Security Trail

[John Earl <johnearl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sure.  You can use database journaling over the file.  I would choose this 
method
if the number of changes were relatively few because it is easy to implement.

If the number of changes to the file are high, especially if there are a lot of
database cahnges that you do not want to log, you could use database triggers to
notify you when the specific field is modified.   It's a little more work than
setting up journaling, but it allows you to be more selective in the data that
you capture.
