are you having two timestamp fields in a table (ie a created and a last_updated)?

I think I've seen this complaint posted before but I ignored but now I realize that in some of my db tables' last_updated field the value is automatically updating on UPDATEs to records while in other tables the last_updated fields for some strange reason aren't automatically updating.

I'll usually use the following line in my table declarations:

last_updated  TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,

In some tables it automatically updates on subsequent updates to the table and in others it will not. The purpose here is to have the last_updated field automatically append to the current timestamp... the application on the front end doesn't specify the time to MySQL but rather expects that it's always going to be UPDATEd to the current time slot.

What am I doing wrong what command should I issue to my tables to correct it? Thanks

No just the one timestamp field (last_updated) which I expect to be given a timestamp on the initial INSERT and then continue to be automatically updated to the current time on subsequent UPDATEs to any given row...
