Updating controls (OpenInsight Specific)

I have 8 or 9 fields spread over 3 or 4 forms that I need to
keep track of when changes are made.
Is there anything in OI that is already doing this or do I need
to code for each control?

Do you mean that you have multiple screens pointing to the same record and these screens can be running simultaneously? If so, the simplest way I can think of handling the synchronizing of the data fields is to create a promoted LOSTFOCUS event that checks for the existance of other windows with the same field being displayed and then updating it.

Well sort of. Two of the forms are bound to the same table.
Basically I need to run a report that has a symbolic field that
checks a control record for the last time the report was run and
needs to check against certain fields to see if they have been
updated since the last time the report was run.
Can I somehow check the record as it looked before and
then right before the "SAVE" event is performed?
