NeoPa, could it be that the form is not a continuous form?
WallaceGirl, I second NeoPa's notion, as should you, regarding the lack of information regarding your question.
Are the fields on the form representing actual fields within a table? ( i am assuming they are )
I am not quite sure what to suggest, but I will throw this out there.
You could
try a button that runs VBA code to save the form.
- DoCmd.Save acForm, "Your Student Form Name"
This would be in the OnClick command of a "Save" button. As of right now I am not sure what else to suggest.
