Is the textbox bound to a field in a table. If not why not simply attach it to the memo field in the table you are trying to copy the data to and then it will automatically be saved where you want it.
In a nutshell, no, the form/textbox is not bound (actually no forms in this system are bound due to the server tables and number of users). Also, the system would only - possibly - be creating new records (multiple letters/forms created for our applicants with a single action based on selections from other screens). The save/print/add to batch is from a 'print/save form' opened from any number of other forms and relating to different back-end tables on our servers. It is also dependent on the user even selecting [ add to batch printing ]. The non-editable-standard forms are easy as I need only capture the data necessary to recreate the form (these aren't even shown to the users). However, the letters are a bit tougher as they may be personally edited by the user while the save/batch print function must be in a single step (calls to various modules) for all items created (possibly up to 20 pages of different letters/forms for each applicant at a single time). In this scenario, I don’t believe binding would be practical.
More background: Working from an .MDE front-end local Access program - there are 20+ users on the system - simultaneously - which dynamically creates letters/forms for our clients. The system then updates backend data bases, electronically orders medical requirements from our 3rd party vendors and updates itself as to the requirements ordered and then awaits electronic results from our vendors.
It does an incredible job with work flow, time management, cost analysis, employee time standards, auto-email notifications to clients, auto follow-ups and barcode tracking of 2-3000 clients each month. It seems rather humorous to me that saving a letter is difficult with what the system already does.
