Replace information if not saved

I have three fields in a form that are linked back to the table. If
someone changes the record in the form, and then decides not to save,
is there a way to undo their changes and revert back to the record
before it was ever opened? Does this make sense? Thanks!

Several ways. They can press the <Esc> key twice - once to cancel the
update of the current field, and the second to cancel the update of
the entire record. Or you can put a Command Button on the form to
execute the code:

Private Sub cmdCancel_Click()
Me.Undo
End Sub

Or you can set the Cancel argument of the form's BeforeUpdate event to
True (unless you have somehow determined that they really do want to
update).
