save and close

[Guest]

I have a data entry form with a save button and close form button.

As far as I know close form button will save the record too.

So what's the difference between them, and also X on the maximum, minimum bar?

Thanks

Um?

Saving the record just saves the record. You could go on editing, and
then save it again, if you wished.

Closing the form (whether from a button or from the Windows X) saves
the record (or tries to do so) and then closes the form. If there are
validation rules that prevent the record from being saved, you must
use caution - it can just quietly close the form, discarding the data
without warning the user.
