How to get accurate LastUpdated date/time from objects in Access?

Question

I am trying to retrieve the LastUpdated date from Access objects and sometimes it is returning the DateCreated value.

I am seeing the same results querying

well just another minor comment to this topic. Access is a good multi user application, but isn't really striving to be a multi-developer management studio.... which is the only reason you would need to time stamp fixed objects design changes.

in most cases one definitely does not want users changing objects - and the compiled .accde is all that is released, so they do not have that ability.

where the user base has the skills to craft their own queries - it often is best to set up a separate front end specifically for this purpose and keep them out of the main application's object navigation pane.
