    Have you exceeded the 2GB file size limit?

    Is it in read-only?

    Are you referring to data changes or design changes?

    Have you performed a compact and repair?

    It is the default behavior of an Access form to save its data before closing. If that's not happening for you, my first instinct is that there is some code behind the form that prevents that from happening.

    As a test, have Access create a form on a table. Make an edit and close the form. I bet the data is being saved.

    Then compare that form with the offending one and it should become apparent why it is not.
