    Initial form not blank

    Hello,

    I'm new so I need some help.
    I'm using MS Access 2010.



    Created a form for data entry.

    Problem:
    At the initial start of the user entry form, the form always bring up the first record from the table.

    want:
    I like the form to start with blank fields for new data entry.

    blank page does appear but after hitting the "save record" button

    Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Tcgl

    Have you tried setting the Data Entry property of the form to Yes?

    Or, if you want to retain the ability to View existing Records, as well as always Opening to a blank Record, use this code:
    Code:
    Private Sub Form_Load()
      DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
     End Sub

    Setting the Data Entry Property to Yes will Open with a blank Record, but existing Records cannot be Viewed/Edited.
