    Button Command Question


    Quick Question,

    I've built a solid database with a form that is only for data enty. I understand that when a record is entered it is added to the table, but my users will need the visual of it being added. Should I have any issue of using the built in command "next record" built into a button for this purpose? Basically When they are done filing out the form, they press it and it clears it since it jumps to the next record (a new record in this instance).

    The form is set for data entry and all navigation is disabled.

    I've encountered the same issue with data entry forms. the users are helped if they see that 'Next Record' - or 'New Record' button that clears the previously entered record and sets the focus on the first data entry field.
    It has always worked fine for me using the Command Button Wizard.
