Ctrl+S

[Emma]

I have a form which allows the user to enter notes. Previously the Ctrl + S
worked and saved the note as the user went on. Now when they press Ctrl+S it
closes the form and saves the whole form in a table. Nothing has changed. To
give you further insight the form is readonly once the user exits the form
and goes back into it. Can someone help me set it back to save mode or set it
up so it automatically saves as the user enters information maybe on a timer
or something?

Do you have a save button with an ampersand before the 'S' in the button's
caption?
If you step through the code behind the save button, what happens?
Maybe make a new save button and see if the second one will work as you
expect - maybe some corruption is affecting the save button?

Control + S always saved changes to the structure of an object (form, report,
query/table layout) and not DATA entered into an object.

To change that behavior, you had some specific VBA code or an AutoKeys Macro
someplace to change the standard behavior of Access. Do you have that code?
