My generic approach is to write (manually from scratch, I have to admit) one custom method for each form/class. I used to call it Fillcontrols. This method usually called from navigation routine and fills controls value/caption properties with appropriate field values. When time is ready to save a record, my code (used to be a plain cmdSave.click event) validates control Value properties (I don't have variables, and generally don't use ControlSources) and INSERT Into ... Values(...value,...value..) or Replace ... With ...value.
