Default Data Disappears When Closed

Hi,

I am working with an existing form in Excel. There are 4 tabs with
different forms in each tab. When I close the workbook, the data in two of
the 4 forms complete disappear. Is there something in Options or AutoFormat
that I should change?

This is Excel 2003 - Windows XP

That;s going to depend upon how the form is treating the data on the back
end. You'd have to look at the properties of the fields in the forms. If the
form isn't retaining some data, it may not have it tied to anything else...

What is the file extension? It should be ".xls" for a normal file. If
it is something else, that could be the problem.
