    Code to open form, open a new record, input data, then close form

    I have a separate form setup in my database for new entries. On the main form I have a button called new entry. I want to write a code that allows me to open that form from the button. When the new entry form opens I want it to automatically open a new record in the table then once the user enters in the data they can press a button that closes that form. Any help is appreciated.



    Thank you

    Set the data entry property of your form to Yes and it will open to a new record. If you want to use the same form for entry and edit, there's an argument of OpenForm that determines which mode it opens in.
