Hmm, don't know there. From my view point at folkinfo, we already record date and time of last update and for more significant updates give a reason for it (shown on a list of recent changes as are songs added). I could easily carry the info for something like an abc correction (one we always do note - it's just minor spelling corrections we ignore) into the pdf we provide for printing but modifying the Z for the abc itself is one I'd prefer to avoid. Z may or may not exist, may or may not have version numbers already added, etc. The alternative for us would be for me to try to persuade the few I can get to contribute on the editing side not only changing the entry on our "changes record" but also updating a version/date and time on the Z... >From that sort of perspective, a field designated for version information would be nice. I would not need to hold that in the abc field of the database but could just add it to the abc requested. Jon To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
