No, you're not missing anything. I completely agree with you; it's a bit lacking in its current implementation. I think it would be much more useful if auditing included both the old and the new value. However the auditing as it is currently designed only records the new value. You would have to get the previous value by finding when it was set to the previous value in a prior log entry.

Alan Monroe Sent: Thursday, December 03, 2009 6:19 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Am I not understanding auditing? I was experimenting with the built-in auditing for the first time on a test server, in log mode. Unless I'm missing something really obvious, it seems to just record the same thing in both the regular record and the log. For example, if I change a serial number from 123 to 123a, I see 123a recorded in both the record of the main form and the corresponding entry in the log form. This seems completely worthless to me since I very much want to record the FORMER value during audit, not the CURRENT value. What am I missing?
