RE: Timestamp when a record is updated...

["Hatzenbeler, Tim" <thatzenbeler@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have never written a trigger, but I do have a question concerning the
possibility of looping...
If you have a file with a trigger.  And you update the file, the trigger is
then activated, but if your trigger updates the same file, does it re-call
the trigger, and start a looping process....

thanks, tim
