Hi

I have created various forms and tables successfully but suddenly I have one
form which is not behaving as i would expect. When I enter data into this
form, it appears to have been saved in the table, however, when I exit the
form and then go back in to check the data, it is no longer displayed. I am
new to access and have been teaching myself as I go along. Obviously I am
missing someting here. Can you help me please?

Many Thanks--
Tash

it appears to have been saved in the table, however, when I exit the form and then go back in to check the data, it is no longer displayed.

Elaborate on this...what do you mean, no longer displayed?? It's not supposed to appear again when you open the form back up. "It appears to be entered in the table"?? What do you mean??

It is possible you may have changed the data entry properties for the form.
I think that would be unlikely for a beginner. Check the properties by
clicking on the grey square in the top left hand corner of the form. There
are various data entry properties. Set them all to "yes".

Set "data entry" to "no".
