Combo box on Form

I have a form that has four combo boxes for users to choose input information
from. In testing it out, I've run into a couple issues that I'm trying to
resolve. First, after I input data using the form, save, and exit - when I
re-enter the form, the entries I've already selected information for are now
blank. Second, how do I stop the form from automatically filling in the
entries based on the last pick? For example, if I've chosen A in record one,
record two automatically chooses A as well.

Thanks in advance for any help - I'm very new to access.

Need more information. What is the form's record source (table or query)?
Are each of the combo boxes bound to a field in that record source (i.e. what
is the record source for each combo box)? Are two of the combo boxes bound
to the same field? After you have entered data you don't need to save. Save
is for preserving design changes. You can give yourself the option of
keeping the record or not, but without that option data will be save
automatically. After you exit and then open the form again do you come to
the last record you worked on, or to some other place?
 
Just your questions helped me!! Thanks, Bruce. I figured out that I didn't
'bound'(bind?) my record to the field in the table, and this was causing my
problem. Thanks so much!
