Use of the VERSION field in database
"John Cosmas" <johncosmas[ at ]charter.net> 5/28/2007 5:29:16 PM
I noticed that there is a field called VERSION in many of the tables. I am
assuming that it is the means for tracking the number of times the record
has either been touched or viewed. Can someone please clarify this?

TIA
John

I would guess that version gets incremented anytime the record is
updated. You can test that proposition by watching some records while
using BCM.

The Version field is just a text field that Outlook uses when custom forms
are designed to see which is the most current version for the forms cache.
Outlook does nothing else with that field and doesn't increment or touch it
at all.
