Save text in a text box

[SiGill]

I have put an Unbound text box on a form.
The aim is that extra text is entered into the textbox each time the form is open, either to change data or add data.
Problem I have is when the form is closed then opened again the text disappears how can I get the text to remain in the box.
I have tried DoCmd.Save in the beforeupdate field of the form, and other things but nothing is working.

Any help would be appreciated.

Many Thanks

The fact that you have stated that the text box is unbound is telling you that there is no where to save the text to. Does this text relate to each specific record or is a global note? You may find you will have to store this in a seperate table or a text file and read it in when you load the form and save it back when you exit the form.

This is going to be a field that has a list of e-mail address.
Basically I have a list of reports that go to different people. What I want to do is when a report is ticked a list of e-mail addresses appear, then the user can add or remove e-mail addresses. making the box appear then disappear is ok, but its getting the text to stay in the textbox thats the problem

Then you need a table of recipients (people) that contain their names and email addresses. You then use a list box on your form (multi select) that you can choose who to send the report to.
