Find the date
Does anyone knows how to retrieve the first time a record was entered into the system? I thought I could used datefirstentered < datecompleted but it doesn't give me the very first time the record was entered in the system. Any ideas?

yes, I have datecompleted, datefirstentered and datemodified.

Because the way the system is setup, the datefirstentered can be as many times as user works with the record. I'm not sure why it is. For instance, record 1122 has 3 instances of datefirstentered. What I want to return is the very first time the record was entered -> datefirstentered.

I hope that answered your question.
