Hello list!
Hi Ivo!

Thank you for your reply! I adapted the code as follows:

function postUpdate($rec)
{
  $oldRecord = $rec["atkorgrec"];
  $newRecord = $rec;

  $customerAttr = $this->m_attribList["customer"];
  $newCustomer = $customerAttr->value2db($newRecord);
  $oldCustomer = $customerAttr->value2db($oldRecord);

  if ($newCustomer!=$oldCustomer){
    // do something
  }
}

Unfortunately, it does only work for all fields!

For example: If I edit a project which has 'none'-values for 'customer',
'contact' and 'coordinator' and save it without change, 'customer' and
'contact' are indicated as 'changed' whereas 'coordinator' is not.

I am not sure, whether it makes a difference or not, but 'customer' and
'contact' are Integer values, 'coordinator' is a String. 'customer' and
'coordinator' may be 'Null', 'contact' has to have a value.

Is there a different approach to solve this problem?

Thank you for your help!
Regards,
Nele.

It looks awful! Thanks for the hint. I changed the mailclient.
