BeforeUpdate event

I would like to record the user editing a record in a form
after each edit. I have the function to read the username
from the system.
Should that function be called on the "before update"
event of the form, or on the "after update" event of a
particular field?

Same question regarding fields that I want to update by
reading information from a parent form into a child form.
Thanks so much!!

The BeforeUpdate event occurs before changed data in a control or record is
updated.
The AfterUpdate event occurs after changed data in a control or record is
updated.
