HOW: Skipping 'Do you want to save changes' when form is closed

[Guest]

I have a custom contact form in which I create some custom controls at load time. When the user closes the form, I do not want the dialog that comes up saying 'Do you want to save changes' to come up. Is there a way to skip around this in the code behind code? If the user clicks the 'Save and Close' button, I will save the data changes, but want the actual form changes (i.e. my dynamic controls) to be ignored and not saved.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks.

You could set Item.Close olDiscard '1 in the Item_Close event and set
Item_Write = False if that's called if you don't want to save the
item.

Basically, I want to save data changes, but not changes made to the form itself. Is that even possible

Changes made in controls in a form are never persistent unless the
control values are bound to user properties or built-in properties. To
save any changes you can call the Item.Save method. If you save the
item then all the data that is in bound controls will be saved in the
bound properties.

form itself. Is that even possible?
