This seems to happen intermitently. For example, I can create a query and may decide I do not wish to save it. Closng the query gives me the save dialogue box. I am unable to cancel this and am forced to enter a query name and save it. Also, if I open an existing query and make changes, closing the query saves the changes without asking whether I want to or not. This also happens with forms and reports, if I make changes Access saves the changes whether I want to save them or not.
