Autosave code

[stu_c]

Hi all
I have a form that some of the fields require a lot of data, we are having issues whereby users are in one field for several hours and sometimes if a network connection is lost and they haven't clicked out of the field they lose all the information, if there a bit of code I can use to force an autosave every 30mins or so?

You can add a timer event to the form which can run as often as you need it to.
As for the code

Me.Dirty = False

Will force a save.

Doing that impedes your ability to validate the data though since you will be forcing the save for incomplete records.
