Command buttons Save and Delete

[BittenApple]

Hello all,

I have inserted Delete and Save button on a form in Access, without attaching any code or macro just through a wizard in Design tab. Should I attach any code or macro to the buttons?
When I use save command button, as if the button is blank, but I can see the record is saved to the table. Anyway, when we put data through the form in a table, the data goes into the table and actually we don't need a save button, I think the save button here plays a role of guarantor to show the end user the record is saved. And Delete button clears data from the form.

You don't actually need a Save button; assuming you have a bound form, Access will automatically save the record when you move off of it (such as closing the form, using navigation buttons to move to another record, moving to a subform, etc. I frequently put both Save and Undo buttons on a form that only become visible once the use has made the form dirty. This is just as a convenience to the user; both as a notice that something has changed, and as a quick way to either Save or Cancel the changes.

Hello Mark,

Thanks for response,
Yes, this is exactly what I mean, I just put those just for a convenience to the user.
Wouldn't it be better to attach a macro to those buttons?

If you have 'Use Control Wizards' turned on, Access will automatically create code or a macro when you place a Delete Record or Save Record button on a form.
