I have a database that opens a window for editing a record. I have an OK button that commits the changes, and a Cancel button that reverts the data.

I would like to be able to turn off the committing when a user clicks outside the field. If I turn off auto-committing, it asks the user to commit the changes. I don't want it to even do that. I would like the layout to ignore the clicks altogether.

Any suggestions?

I don't think you can.

You might want to go back to the "old" method: let users enter into global fields which are then Set ino the proper fields when saved.

I am not sure I understand what it is you wnat, but you can turn off the option to ask in order to save changes and have them saved autoamtically. Check in layout mode in layout setup.

I think the original poster wants the record not to auto-save, but only save when a button is clicked on rather than when the user exits the record.

OfficeMoMo's demo put a button on the layout that essentially prevented the user from exiting the fields. It works as long as the user cannot reach a portion of the layout that isn't covered by the button.

How do you do

I have participated from Japan.

My sample file is whether to have operated as expected.

I am pleased if it becomes your reference.

Thank you for sharing, OfficeMoMo.

It expects that my idea is efficiently employed in your systems development.
