I'm very new to Access 2007. I've built a database, normalized the tables and constructed their relationships, now I'm building a form to enter data into the main table in the database. I've added a few fields to the form by dragging them from the Field List. Most of them are unbounded because they're like "First Name", "Last Name", etc., and the names are what are being added to the database.
To test the form I've displayed it in Form view and filled in the fields. I have two questions: Do I need to add an Enter button to the form so clicking it writes the field data to the main table and clears all the fields? How do I tell Access that I've finished filling in the form for that person and now I want a blank form for the next person? I tried using the "Record:" icons in the bottom frame of the window to go to the next record, but the fields didn't go blank. Also, I checked the main table in Datasheet view but no data was filled in.
(It's amazing how hard it is to find answers to the really, really simple questions like these.)
