    Contact Management Database Form Input

    I'm fairly new to MS Access, and especially the forms. I have taken the generic "Contact Management Database", and slightly altered some of the aspects of the forms. How do I go about ensuring the data that is entered into the given form ends up in a table eventually? The screenshot is the form I have designed, but when I enter data into it to add a new customer, the data doesn't go anywhere (it is not recorded in the table).

    In order to save to the table, the form would have to be bound to the table (or a query), that means its record source property would be the table. Then the textboxes have to be bound to fields, that means their control source property would be a field name in that table.

    Record is committed to table when: 1) close table/query/form; 2) move to another record; 3) run code to save.

    I just tested the db and it works. The form you posted has differences but otherwise much the same design. If you removed the form RecordSource then data cannot autosave to table. If you need more help, you will have to provide your modified version for analysis. Follow instructions at bottom of my post.
    How to attach file: http://www.accessforums.net/showthread.php?t=70301 To provide db: copy, remove confidential data, run compact & repair, zip w/Windows Compression.
