Default Saving Inormation in Forms

I tried searching for this question but could not find an answer...

Is there a way to save information that a user enters into a form after the form closes? Up until now, I've been opening other forms in hidden mode and adding the information to them, but I feel that this is becoming precarious with the amount of information I am now trying to tabulate.

Any help that you can offer is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Joe

No, not really. Forms are just user interface and don't actually store user
data. There are ways to store some custom data such as using the Tag
Property but generally, these are used to store details to customize the
Form or setting some initial conditions for the Form..

I wonder why you don't store data in a Table which is designed to store
data?

I think you may need to post a lot more details of what you are trying to
do.
