Hi everyone

I am currently reviewing a desktop (i.e. NOT web) application that  
involves mostly viewing and changing records in a database (via a  
nice GUI front end).

In some places, changes are "committed" as soon as you enter them, a  
bit like how Microsoft Access operates. In other places, the user has  
to specifically "save" to commit changes, like MYOB.

Any opinions on when one approach should be used over the other and  
whether the inconsistency matters?

Thanks in anticipation,
