It is not likely that they are being deleted when saved (unless someone is deleting them 
) but more likely that they are
a) being overtyped
b) not being saved in the first place due to some data violation eg duplicate key values etc.
I suggest look at (b) as your first problem (look at your data structure and see if it possible to duplicate primary key values)

a) happens when you use a bound control as a "lookup". If that is your problem, just add an unbound combo and use that for finding records and leave the bound control for data entry.

Pony, I don't under stand your question. It sounds like you are asking how to delete a form based on a timer event and I'm pretty sure that that's not what you are asking. Please try to restate the question.

You could check the date each time the db opens and determine if it is time to delete the form.
However, since I can't refrain from adding my personal opinion, this sounds like a poor design. You should probably do some reading on application design and database design and normalization.

Hi
to delete the form
1- you have to check the date every time DB opens..say on a splash form
2-create a control(check box) and make it as small as possible almost invisible.
3- write an if statement ie. if date() >= 01/01/2005 then docmd.deleteobject "......".
4- then set focus on your new control
3- on the new control write a code on the setfoucus event that deletes your function checking the date.
this should work just fine .. the first time..
