Richard.I have learned so much with your series..thanks. However, I'm confused; I add a new customer; then go to orders - I see my new customer name. Then, after adding my products I hit the x to close the window and return to the customer form. I then return to the order form and my order is gone...happens no matter which lesson in 301-305 etc. If I want to really save my order it appears I need to click on the customer combo box and reselect my customer name. Note this is only for the FIRST order for that customer. Why does this happen and how can I avoid clicking on the customercombo? Sorry If I am missing something simple...this happens in my own application I am building too.
