Splkit form issue with saving to form

[Noek]

OK hopefully I explain this correctly, I'm still new to Access. I have created a table to store records entered from a form. Everything works great. So now I want to use the split screen feature with the form to enter records on the left side and the table it gets saved to on the right so I can see the records as I enter them on the form. I have done this before, I just can't remember how I did it.



In form properties of the form, in the format tab for default view I chose 'Split Form'. Then again in the format tab I scrolled down to Split Form Orientation and I chose 'datasheet on the right', because I like the side by side view and I can see my entries as I am entering them. When I click my submit button on the form that saves the record to the table, the entries in the split view to the right disappear. It is saved to the table, but in the split form table of the form it disappears. I just want to keep entering records in the form, seeing the entries in the split form table on the right, and its saving to then table database in the background. I know there is a way to keep it from disappearing I just can't figure out how to do it.

Thanks in advance, Sorry for the newb question.

Is the form set as DataEntry= Yes?

Is the form set as DataEntry= Yes?

Yes sir it is, but I have a feeling its something small like that I am overlooking

Think I might have figured it out, data entry needs to be set to 'no'. If set to 'yes' it means you can only enter new data, but not view previously entered data :/

Correct. Its a badly named property that can cause confusion

I have said that mtself many times in the past, but thinking about it today, perhaps technically and pedantically it is not.
It is for Data Entry only.
Not Data Amendment, which could include Data Deletion.
