saving data in form

[Mubs]

i have a form in my database.. when i enter details on the form for some reason it doesnt save the data when i reopen it...


how can i save all of my entries

1) Make sure the recordset type is Dynaset.

2) Make sure your file isn't read-only.

3) If all else fails you can either make a save button or save on close.

Is your form bound to a table or a query?

If it's a query is your query updatable?

How did you end up solving it?

i realised that some of the fields control source was not defined..

As you've already discovered, only the bound controls of a bound form are saved. A bound form with unbound controls will not save the unbound ones.
