I waited to post my solution to this problem until I heard back from the testers…

I am finally getting though my thick scull the fact that web commands process differently from Access VBA. Fortunately I found this little trick to make life easier. I am sure the masters were aware of this but I am still learning. One sub can handle changes to all of the fields, dropdowns, option buttons, etc. and mark a global Boolean if anything changes. Of course I had to reset it at various other places.

Private Sub InputChanges(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
    ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtSymbol1.TextChanged, _
    ddlUnitCode3.SelectedIndexChanged, optFemale9.CheckedChanged, _
    optMale9.CheckedChanged

   msChanges = True

End Sub

Fortunately, the testers did not complain about the separate Save and Printer Friendly Version buttons.
