>These forms are NEVER opened at the same time. The only thing they share is the memo field. Same bound field, two forms which are never opened at the same time. Form A always can save it additions and changed, while form B never does. I even copied the exact control from form A to form B. Same problem.

Are you 100% sure, it's the same table in both cases? Could it be, that one of the form uses another table (say, in its DE)? I once had similar situation. My first application called another application. In the second I made some changes in a table, but the first form never sees them. Finally I found, that I had the same table in Data directory of the first application, so instead of main copy it took another version. Check this.

Other than that, I'm afraid, I'm out of ideas :(

When notes are entered into the memo field in one form, they are not saved and do not show up in the memo field when one form is closed and the other is opened. I'm doing a tableupdate and everything seems ok. Am I forgetting to do something basic?
