I am looking for a way to automatically display a small "Updated" graphic for 5 days after a user updates their records in our database. We have a gamers database that lists their characters name, level, etc. The players routinely modify their records to update the "level" field to reflect their character's advancement. I found resourses here to display an image when a member adds a new character (record) and will be trying to incorporate that into our database. But beyond that, does anyone know how I can display "updated" for 5 days when a record is updated?

Still very much a perl novice, but learning, and thanks for a great database!

In order to show both a "new" and an "updated" graphic, you'll need to have two fields in your database -- one for the creation date and one for the modified date. Do you have them? What are their names? (It makes it easier to write code if I have the actual names of the fields. )

Thanks for such a timely response. I figured it out and got it up and working properly.

Thanks again,
