Hello,

To avoid the use of WQO + WQS, you can simply use a computed for display field that will keep the main field value.

ie :

LastName → editable field

dLastName → formula :

@If( dLastName = “”;

LastName ;

dLastName

);

In WQS, with LS, you can compare LastName & dLastName value and do some processing if there are differences…

At a guess, I’d say you could probably use the WebQueryOpen event or even a JavaScript function to create a hidden new field containing the contents of the date field when the document is opened. When the document is submitted, you can use a WebQuerySave agent to compare the contents of the hidden field, which will have the date field’s original contents, with the current contents of the field. If they’re different, the date has been changed, so you send the mail.
