Users sometimes leave data in fields and then close the form. this results
in junk records. I have a "Save" button that saves records that they should
use but they 'forget'.

Is there a way to close a form without saving changes to the current record?

Never mind. I found the answer in HELP. all I have to do is set the CANCEL
property of the close button to YES and any record (or patrial record) that
has not been daved by the SAVE button will be discarded when the form closes.

Hi Steve - I had a similar issue and the way you suggest works - however if
the user forgets to use the save button you will junk info they wanted. You
can use a message box to ask if they want to save the info or not and respond
by either cancelling or saving.
