Thanks for your input, John. "replace the form..."?  The form has tons of user inputted data already, it's a data input heavy form.

I was thinking of automatic data saving as a user inputs data for one field and move to another... intend to seriously think about this enhancement for next version (tons of work for this to happen, it impacts current work flow as well).
