having issues with Coding

I am trying to do a few things and feel really stupid because they seem easy.
I think I just don't have enough knowledge on coding.

Anyway, I am trying to have a field automatically populate the time and date
of the modification to the notes field. I also want the notes field to
automatically create a new memo field for the next note.

I want the previous data saved and I want to be able to arrow my way
forwards and backwards through the past memos.

Is this crazy? How do I do it? Help!

Thanks, Penny
 
I don't think it's crazy but you just haven't supplied enough info.
Remember, no one here can see your database.
From what you have posted I can't picture your form or your tables
or any of the fields in them so it's very hard to offer advice.

Think of how best to explain this so someone can get a feel for your form, the data in the form
and your tables.
 
First, to record the time and date, in the AfterUpdate of the memo
control place this code:

Me![MyTextbox] = Now()

Now your second question, you should try using a continous subform to
enter or view previous data.

Hope this helps.
