I have a quick question, when I make a change in my form and close the form, it;s not asking me to save the changes I made. It;s automatically saves the changes, can you please share some input on why this is happening.

That's normal behaviour. The record is automatically saved.

Is there a feature that can be turn to ask if you want to save the record instead of just saving automatically.
Not really. Access isn't like Word or Excel where you have to save your changes manually when you're done editing. Data is saved live as you edit it. I suppose you could rig something up with a little VBA code and some settings to emulate that behavior, but why would you want to?
I had another student ask me something similar a while back... he didn't want people accidentally editing records. What I suggested was to set AllowEdits to NO by default and make them click a button to turn EDIT MODE on. Then when they were done, they could either click SAVE or CANCEL. One would close the form and save changes. The other would issue an UNDO command and cancel changes. I added this to my list for a video, but haven't gotten to it yet.
