I have a form that has several unbound fields. I want those fields to be added to the table if the user closes the form window or if they click one of the record selecting buttons at the bottoms of all forms. I know how to update the tables, what I need to know is how do I tell the form to update these fields when the user pushes the red X or when they use the built in MS Access record controls at the bottom of the form. Thank you in advance.

I was trying to get around having to use the OnClick events. I have about 30 check boxes that are not bound to anything, they just let me know what has been done and I add a point value when I add them to the table. I wanted to only have to update once when the form changed records or when the form closed. Maybe the OnCurrent will do all of that. I will give it a try and get back to you.

Create a function or procedure that has your table update routine in it. Call this function or procedure from the buttons OnClick event and also on the Forms OnCurrent event (Macro or Function that runs when focus moves from one record to another).
