As anyone who has gone through the "kitchen" scripts knows, they are a good source of information, but not always enough of what you need sometimes. Then again, sometimes they're too much. That being said, I used the histcol.dxl as a basis to create some code to be used as an Attribute's DXL code. Because our needs were specific in that we only cared about changes since the last baseline, the DXL only looks at those differences. It's also simple enough to modify it so that is looks at different attributes, not just the main column. It will also show new objects (but not deleted objects yet).

The way we use it is to create a view with key attributes that, when exported to Word as a table, bears a remarkable resemblance to a Word compare file. In other words it's a table of text with strikethoughs and underlines as if you compared two tables in Word. As part of this, I also wrote a script that will add a filter to only include objects that have changes in them (another of our requirements). Since dynamic filters cannot be saved as part of views, the filter script needs to be run every time before you export the view to Word.

Of the original include files used by histcol.dxl, this code only uses the deltabuff.inc file, because the simplicity involved precluded the use of the others.

As always, the code included here should be used at your own risk.
