Oh, is that all? That's no big deal - I thought you were losing an hour of edits or so, like the user here.

For what you need to do, you just need to move the focus prior to closing the app, to a command button, for example. I use several techniques - the simplest is to Setfocus to a commandbutton in a form QueryUnload or 'Exit' button. Maybe that'll help get you started...it depend on how your app works for how the logistics will work, but that's all you need to do - move the focus just prior to exiting.
