    Seeking a User Friendly enter Button Logic


    I am trying to write a simple data entry db for my wife (not computer literate) to organize her collection of children books. I would like to place a button on the data entry form that says "ENTER" rather than to repeatedly remind her to click the new record arrow at the bottom of the Form. TIA Phil

    Thanks forthe search words! I found boblarson’scode “DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdRecordsGoToNew” and it works beautifully. Inresearching I found a report by nschroeder at
    http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=200184 infering that the code “DoCmd.GoToRecord,,acNewRec” does not work in Access2010. Can you tell me if this is still true? Thanks angain for the wonderfulaid you all give! Phil
