Is it possible in Access/VBA to create a log of all edits done on a record?

I'm tasked to create a module that automatically saves to a garbage file all
records edited by a user. This way, i can recover the original records from
the garbage file if the user made a mistake or accidentally deleted the
record.

Any ideas on how to implement this?

Thanks in advance...

Access does not to this natively, but it is possible to use the form events
if all your changes are made through forms.

For details of how to log inserts, deletes, and edits, see:
