    opening forms extra records

    Hi

    When I open my access 2007 database from the switchboard, the form that it opens up to is a parent form with a subform embedded in it. The subform is linked by the 'org name' and by 'year'.

    I am finding that when I open the parent form,there is always an additional empty record in the subform, alongside the record which has data in it.

    I am not sure why it is doing this, especially as when you enter another record, this empty form vanishes. Its almost acting as the default form?

    I have also noticed that when I go to another form which is displaying specific data linked to the 'org name' and 'year' it also has an extra record

    However, the weird thing is it does not show up in the table. And again, once you go to a new organisation and input some data, and then go back to the other organisation,the additional record has gone?

    Is there a simple property setting whereas each time you open the form, it always opens up to where you essentially left off, no empty record?



    any advice appreciated, sorry if this sounds confusing as well..

    thanks

    Have you tried setting the Allow Additions property of the form to False?

    I can show you an example on the above quoted issue at the following link: Saving data on Forms not in Table
