Changing Records LastModifiedBy...any suggestions on why this isn't working ?

trigger Testmodify on Lead (after update) {
	
	User [] umail = [Select u.Email,u.Name from User u where id=:Trigger.new[0].OwnerId];

	Lead [] lid = [Select Id from Lead where id=:Trigger.new[0].Id];
	
	for (Lead tmp:lid)
	{
	tmp.LastModifiedById = umail[0].Id;
	
	update tmp;
	}	
}
 
Any ideas on why this code isn't being saved to the server ?

I'm pretty sure LastModifiedBy is not updatable as it's a system field.  You can confirm in the API doc's.

John is correct, the LastModifiedById is a system field and cannot be updated via trigger.

Any ideas on how I can get a Mass email being triggered by an update to send from the owner of a record instead of the last modifier?
