I have a record that the user is currently viewing/editing and if the user
has actually made any changes I need to be able to set a Modified flag to be
True in order for our replication program to work properly.

Currently we just set it to True regardless, which is not ideal cos
frequently the user could just be viewing the record without wanting to make
any changes.

Now, I know that there is a 'modified' propertly of the Table. This seems to
work ok apart from when it comes to Blob fields. These can be modified and
the modified property will not be set.

Is there any way around this?

Many thanks,

Maybe use the event OnExit of the component that contains the Blob field.

Regards,

Rudy

...but I haven't tested this with a blob field
