Anyone care to see if they can screw up my program?

Hello everyone.

I just finsihed my address book and I was up for any input how how I can improve things in it. Or if you found a way to mess it up I will try to fix it. I posted the release .exe at my website:

Thanks!

I just spend hours entering in contact information... then quit...

Oopps, I forgot to save....

Let's see at an hourly rate of $125 USD. You now owe me $375...

Payment can be sent to....

[That didn't take long!]

So should I not even give them an option to save, rather just auto save on quit?

Or should I keep the save and if they exit, should I prompt them again if they want to save?

[TheCPUWizard]

I vote for the option to prompt for save if they have made changes.

You could even keep a count of the number of records changed, and prompt them every 10 or so.....

If the program was a bit "fancier" all of these choicces could be configuration options....

Not the bugs, but some usability suggestions:
To be able to go back in menu selection screens.
Remembering last option selected in menus.
Be able to search using partial names, If I have "Smith", I would like to type "sm" and get all records matching that string.

Thanks for the suggestion guys!
