Implementing an auto save function (NOT automatic recovery file)

huntsdabibil

I know ProSeries has an automatic recovery file save every x mins, but I am talking about a feature that will automatically save the client file every x mins. The automatic recovery only functions during things like a program crash. For example, if power were to go out and the PC shutdown, the automatic file recovery will not function with this scenario.

That's a great idea.  Especially since the automatic file recovery doesn't always work.

NOOOO!! One of the things I love is that you can make changes and then go back to original by not saving.  Auto save would ruin that feature.

Making this simple checkbox to enable or disable would fix @sariscpa issue. I use the same workflow as you sometime about working on a client but not saving the information in the end. But worse is working on a return and a program crash happens and no information was saved.
