Remember or Store value?

When using combo wizard it asks you
Shall I store this value or remember it?

I choose remember, but what's the diff?

I want it to leave the chosen value in place until it's changed (even after
close and re-opened)

Leads me to similar problem - I am trying to store the value of a textbox in
the .tag (so it remembers it) - It does store it - but on closing the
database and re-opening it loses the .tag value - V.B doesn't just 'lose'
object properties - what gives?

I prefer not to keep defining new variables when there's a .tag property
perfect for the job

"Saving" the value means binding the control to a field in
the form's record source table. Data in a table is
permanent since the data is saved to disk.

"Remembering" the value means that the control is unbound
and you just want the value left in the control's Value
property. Note that all form and control property changes
made while the form is open are supposed to be temporary and
should be forgotten when the form is closed.
