How Updates Are Saved
QBF stores your modifications and deletions in a temporary buffer. To save the changes permanently, choose the Save operation on the data display form Update frame. As QBF writes your changes to the database, it displays this message:
Saving changes . . .
When the process is complete, QBF displays the following message and returns you to the Update frame query form so that you can specify a new query:
Changes saved.
When you choose the Save operation, QBF attempts to update the database with the current contents of all fields on the form, not just the field or fields that you changed. It also checks the contents of all fields on the Update data display form for data type consistency, integrity violations, and permission violations, and reports any errors.
