We recently made a similar change in our apps. We had "Save & Close" and "Cancel" as standard buttons in our web app. We've been reworking our UI, and one of the changes to our standard is that all buttons should only perform a single function. Thus we've moved to a "Save" and a "Close" button. Now the users can save w/o exiting (which they couldn't do before). The downside side is that to Save and Exit requires two button clicks, and we also need to trap the Close event to warn the user if they haven't saved. Its more work on the backend but should be more usable for the user. We won't know for sure until we test it, which is a couple months away at this point. I'd love to know if anyone has previously tested this already.
