Entering Records on a Form that has no Navigation Buttons

[Lou_Reed]

In the code in this tutorial shown here: http://www.functionx.com/access/Lesson35.htm



It says to create RentalRates with no Navigation Buttons. Then after creating the form,
that has no navigation buttons, I am to create 8 records in the next step. I assume it means to create
the 8 records using the form RentalRates.

Now that is confusing. Do they enter the records using the newly created RentalRecords form or enter the records
on the Table Categories; which is the RentalRecords form's record source?

Now I know of one way to enter the records which is to put Navigation Buttons to yes, enter the records and then put
Navigation Buttons back to no. I do not think that is what they mean.

What do they mean?

Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Even without navigation buttons a continuous form will display a new record at the bottom. You can simply click in it. Depending on the cycle property focus will go to the new record when you finish the last anyway.

Wait, again how do I get to a new record when I am entering them on a form with no navigation buttons? I am using a contiguous form.

Check the Cycle property of the form. Properly set, as you leave the last control in the tab order on one record, it will go to the first control in the tab order on the next record.

Okay, thanks I will give it a try.
