Say a form has a subform, a button that pops up a message box and a cancel
button.
Q1. If data is entered in one or more fields on the main form and the user
then clicks the button that opens the message box, is the record saved?
Q2. What is the best way to determine if the main form record has been
saved so code could be written to undo the main form if the record has not
been saved and delete the record if it has been saved?
Q3. What is the best way to programatically determine if any data has been
entered in the subform yet?
Thanks!

Q1: Yes. Any time focus shifts from parent form to child form, the
parent is saved.
Q2: After the parent record is saved, the Form_AfterUpdat e event
fires. I believe this is true for new records as well.
Q3: When the first char is entered in a new record, the
Form_BeforeInse rt event fires.

No, if the button is on the main form. However, you sometimes want to
save a record (perhaps to print the values) so in the OnClick event
you'd have something like
If Me.Dirty then Me.Dirty = False
in order to force a save.
Q2. What is the best way to determine if the main form record has been

been saved and delete the record if it has been saved?
If Me.Dirty then...
If a record has not been modified or has been saved, it's dirty state is
False. If the record has been modified but has not been saved, it will
be dirty.
In the OnDelete event you may want to do a check like
If Me.NewRecord Then
Cancel = True
Endif
since you really can't delete a record that has not been saved.
Q3. What is the best way to programatically determine if any data has been
entered in the subform yet?
You could create a global variable. Since you wanted to know if data
has been entered...but not saved...you could use the OnChange event.
Highlight all of the subform fields and pull up the property sheet and
select Events/OnChange. Enter
=SetDataChange( )
Now create a function in the form.
Private Function SetDataChange()
blnDataChange = True
End Function
Now you can test the value anywhere in the form. Ex
If blnDataChange then...

Hi,
I would like my record to be saved only when my own close button (with all
it's checks) is used.
I made the winodws close button disappear, but you still can close using the
right mouse click.
also when designing, going to design mode saves the record.
So I tried: OnClose : Me.Undo.
My own cancel button uses it and it works ok,

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
