I have an Auto-enter calculation in a field named Comments.

The ojective is to create a timestamp list of notes that I add from 
time to time with the latest note being on top.

Here is the Calculation I was using in 9 that doesn't work in 12:

Let(
[
_Notes = Comments;
_Prompt = " " ;
_Char = "• " ;
_Divider  = TextColor 
("¶––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––----–––––––––––––-----–––¶" 
; RGB (150 ; 150 ; 150));
_Tag = TextStyleAdd ( TextColor ( Get( CurrentTimeStamp ) & ¶ ; RGB ( 
150 ; 150 ; 150 ) ) ; Bold );
_Editing = Left( _Notes; Length( _Prompt )) = _Prompt or Left ( _Notes 
; Length( _Char ) ) = _Char

];
If( _Editing; _Notes;
_Char &  _Tag & _Notes & _Divider  & Middle ( $$NoteLog ; Length( 
_Prompt) ; 1000000 )) 

)

The data should look like this:

• 7/27/2009 1:29:45 PM
Left message for re: Battery Needing service
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––----–––––––––––––-----–––

Talked with Stephanie about door bell. Jim will be out to switch door 
bells tomorrow at 9:00 to 11:00 am.

Can anyone help me with why this doesn't work in FMPro 12?

TIA,

Bob
