After Up-date

[CB]

This is probably a Access 101 question, but here goes! I have an issue with
my form that when a user updates a field, and then goes to navigate away to a
different record using a drop down, we get a error message. I know what it
is, the entry has not, been saved, the record is still in edit mode.

Is there a common practice that can eliminate this, and after-up-date
command or something?

Up-dating any sub form fields work fine, just fields on the parent table /
form.

Any help is appreciated.

Care to tell us what the error message might be?

What do you WANT to happen when the user navigates away from the record?
Cancel the edit; save the record; warn the user; or what?
