The will display the View Transaction Log form. When the form runs, the date/time stamp is read for the first and last records in the transaction log. That information is displayed in the Begin and End dates on the form. No transaction records are loaded into the form until you click on the Search log button, which is shown to the right of the End date field.
The command buttons in the upper left-hand corner of the form give you the capability to search, generate log reports and view individual field values. The Begin and End textboxes are used to filter the transaction log.
The grid in the upper half of the form displays the records in the transaction table. Selecting a record in the top grid causes the fields affected by the transaction to be displayed in the grid in the lower half of the form.

Filtering the Transaction Log

You can specify specific log entries to review by changing the Beginning and Ending dates on the form and then pressing the Search Log button. By default, the View Log form loads all the records from the transaction table.
The Select Filtering Criteria dropdown is used to filter the transaction log even further. Working with the records returned based on the Beginning and Ending dates, you can specify which type of transactions to display, all the transactions for a specific table or all the transactions for a specific user.

Printing the Transaction Log

Once you have specified the transaction log entries you wish to view, select the Preview Log Report or Print Log Report button to produce a transaction log report for the current transaction records.

Viewing Individual Field Values

Most fields will display the original and updated values adequately in the lower grid on the form. For those fields whose information is too large to display in a grid, long character strings or memo fields for example, the Display Field Contents command button displays a form which allows you to see the entire value in the field.
To use the Display Field Contents form, position the record pointer on the record containing the field you want to see the original and updated values for. Click the Display Field Contents button to launch the Field Contents Viewer.
