I have set up a command button to open a form showing specific data to display. After typing in text and returning to the previous form the text is not saved. WHY???

Is the form bound? Are you closing it to go back? If so then you could force a save in the form OnClose event - use the button wizard to generate the save code.

I have tried using a save code on the command button and on the form itself, but it still will not save the text. I have also tried deleting the command button and starting again bt for some reason it just will not save the text!!
