Data disappears when form re-opened

We are using Acrobat 8 Professional on a Mac and WinXP. We have created a form with fillable fields. We can enter data into the fields and save it. When we save it we save it with a different name (so we can keep the data on the form for record keeping). When we re-open the file we can see the entered information for about 1 second and then it disappears. There doesn't seem to be an explaination for this. Can you please help?

Check the Page Properties and Document JavaScripts to see if there is a re-set code in the document. If there is, you need to remove it.

In Acrobat Forms:

this.resetForm():

In LiveCycle FormCalc:

$host.resetData()
