Hey guys, I havent coded visual basic in a long time I am using access 2003 and doing some code under a form. I have a button that is named system Setup and when you click on it it opens up and another form that has three comboboxes and a Save and a Cancel button.

Ive been trying most of the day on trying to get the save button working. When the SystemSetup form pops up (with the three comboboxes ) the user can select items out of the combo buttons and be able to save those settings for the rest of the form. when i close out of the form the save button should save what the user picked for settings. But i cant get it to do this. If i could get some help on this it would be much appreciated
