Possible to backtrack edits in database?

Hi,

in FH6, is it somehow possible to generate a list of changes to the database in chronological order? So that I can backtrack my own changes?

It's not possible to create a list, but you can undo changes in a single session, using the Edit menu.

You can see which records have been changed on the Records list by sorting by last changed date

Finally you could restore a backup of your Project to a new Project name and then use the File>Merge Compare option to compare your current Project with the older version.

As an alternative to Backups, you could revert to Snapshots in a Copy of your Project.

Thanks Jane and Mike!

This looks very helpful - I will have a go with File>Merge Compare first

File -> Merge was a good idea for me

The possibility to sort on "Updated" date in the "Merge file" dialogue seems to be what I needed to identify all edits since a particular date.

Thanks,
Jan
