I don't believe there is a way to do this if you are talking about changing
a record by editing it directly in the table.  However, you can do it if
you are editing records through a form.  Create an event procedure for the
"BeforeUpdate" action for the form and add code to the event procedure to
set the modification date field in the record to the current date.
