Is there a way to have an "auto save" option in my access form. Kind of like it is in word where after lets' say 5 minutes it automatically saves, what do I have to insert in my form so that the data will automatically save after 5 min. So if someone is entering data it will automatically save every 5 min. Thanks
 
I am curious why you would want to do this. I hope your form is not that complicated (takes more than 5 mins to fill in). And if the user just gets side tracked, you probably still wouldn't want to do this as it doesn't give you the chance to say "Oops, I don't want to save this record afterall..." and escape out of it.
