I have created an application that allows users to answer a series of questions and print reports based on that data.
Currently, on my data entry form the user has to save after each answer they give. I can't find another way of making this form work. If anyone has a idea or has done this before please respond

Hello.
I've created several questionnaire applications. Usually, the key to automatically saving records/entries lays in some fairly easy-to-use macros.
Could you give me a bit more information about what happens when the user does not save after each entry? At what point do you discover that the item (and, I assume, the whole record) has not been saved?
One further question: Is this a paginated form?

I have the form set up with the registration information set up at the top of the form and then a subform to view the form which actually holds the questions.
The subform has a tab control on it and each page contains a listbox with the questions relevant to each section (the questionaire has 7 sections). The user has to select a question from the listbox and respond in a text box that I placed on the form and then they have to push a command button that says "Save Response". As you can tell this process is a bit much for the average user
( all questions need to be answered and if the user doesnt enter one the question will not show on the final report)
Another issue is that most of the answers have several options for the answer and I need to display them.
Let me know if you need further explanation of my form
