>Hi. I am a bit confused about what goes in my "Save" and "Abort" buttons in a form. I am writing directly to the database with my control sources being dbfname.fieldname. So, what a does a "Save" button do?? Also, how does the "Abort" button delete child records (if they, too are written directly to the database?). I think that there is something that I am missing??
>Thanks, Randy

I all depends on the code behind the Save and Abort buttons. You'll have to step through the code to see what is happening.
