"Save" how?  I never assign to the .Text property; I initialize the control
by assigning to its .Value property.

I tried writing

  acForm![faaCustomerID].Value = acForm![faaCustomerID].Text

but got a different error:  the .Text property cannot be read unless the
control in question has the focus.  As I don't want to flicker the input
focus over a group of controls in succession, this is out too.

The form's .RecordSource property is blank; that makes the form unbound, right?
