Description 
To commit changes, you can, for example:
 •
click out of all fields (exit the record)
 •
go to a different record
 •
enter Find mode
If multiple windows are open, clicking in another window does not commit the record.
Notes
 •
If the current calculation is stored and you specify its context, this function will be evaluated based on that context; otherwise, it will be evaluated based on the context of the current window.
 •
Get(RecordModificationCount)returns NULL for ODBC data sources.

For information on how functions evaluate differently on the host versus the client, search the FileMaker Knowledge Base available at http://help.filemaker.com.
Examples 
Returns 0 if the record has not been modified since it was created.
If changes are made to four fields and all four fields are committed together, the result increments by one. If changes are made to four fields and each change is committed separately, the result increments by four.
