    Form Log only Displays Live Record

    Hello,



    I am new to the access world and I am having what seems to me to be a very basic problem. Yet no matter how I try to record the record, The record table only shows the live data in the form, and doesn't skip to a new record. I used the form wizard and the standard default buttons. This form for some reason is larger than the attachment size allowed in the forum. This seem like I am missing something very simple yet I have been battling with this on and off for about a week. Hope someone can help me out.

    Yes, that what forms do is show live data in the table.
    If you want the form to open to ADD new records, call it thus:

    docmd.OpenForm "frmMyData",,,,acFormAdd

    if you ONLY want it to add data, set the form property in the DATA tab , DATAENTRY = YES

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
