Hello all, I’m looking to store an old value of a textbox field into a UDfield before it’s changed so that when the textbox value changes to a new value, I can have a previous value and current value to play with. Can anyone lead me in the right direction? I am able to comprehend C# code and the different form event wizards. Thank you in advance!

You want a before field change event on the relevant dataview/field. Use the event wizard.

Note that you’ll need to have your variable already declared. In my example below, it would be:
string myValue;


	private void Resource_BeforeFieldChange(object sender, DataColumnChangeEventArgs args)
	{
		// ** Argument Properties and Uses **
		// args.Row["FieldName"]
		// args.Column, args.ProposedValue, args.Row
		// Add Event Handler Code
		switch (args.Column.ColumnName)
		{
			case "AssetNum":
			myValue =  args.Row["AssetNum"].ToString();
				break;
		}
	}

Also ensure you know what type of data to expect (string,int, etc)
