When I change information on my customer form (contact name) it updates all previous sales records. Question: How do I create forms that do not update once data is entered and saved? If you Need more info or sample of database let me know. THANKS

Hallo,

Your data is probably updating because there is a relationship between the fields in the underlying tables. This relationship has referential integrity enforced, and has Cascade Update Related Fields is set.
To stop this happening you need to redesign your database.
Remove the relationship to prevent the updates. This may, of course, affect your application in a myriad of other ways, any or all of which may be disastrous. It just depends on the design.
If you want to give more information, then we may be able to help further.
