Track when a record was modified

Does anyone know of a way to time stamp a record whenever it is modified at
the table level?

I know how to time stamp using a form event but I am trying to find a bug in
my system which is causing an unexpected change in the field value and I
can't find the event causing this. If I could time ( and user) stamp when
the record is changed this may help me narrow down the event causing the
problem.

Any ideas appreciated.

Thanks - Ali.

I'd be very skeptical that a "bug in the system is causing an
unexpected change in the field value". One thing I would suggest is
running a Find and Replace program against your code to see if that
field is being used somewhere unexpectedly. For example some kind of
lookup field on a form that is actually bound to a table.
