Only Allow updates after button click

Hi,

I have a form with a number of drop-down lists on it and each of these lists is bound to a field in a table.

When I return the results of a search to this form I want to allow users to be able to cycle through the records and change them if they want. However, the changes should only be saved if the user clicks on the "update record button". This button is simply the save record button by the MS Access wizard.

At the moment if they change the value in one of the drop down lists and move onto the next record the change is saved even though the user doesn't click any button. I want to prevent this from happening.

Any ideas on how I might achieve this?

If I prevent "AllowEdits" in the form properties I can't update the form using the "update record button" either.

Many Thanks,
 
Thanks jrjr,

That example was very useful.
