Add New Records - VB 2008 Express Edition

[mondeoman]

I am using MS VB 2008 Express Edition

I have a Master/Detail form with six fields in the master area and a datagrid element for the rest of the fields. These are associated with two tables in an .mdf database file. The form allows users to put details in various text boxes associated with a database and ad extra items in the detail element if appropriate. The form has the usual VB tool bar buttons such as add new, Save and so on. What I want is that when the form is opened it automatically starts wih a new record so that the user does not have to click the AddNew button on the tool bar which for a non IT person could be confusing. In other words I want the form to open at a new record. Is this possible please and if so how do I achieve it. This is driving me demented so any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,

MS VB 2008 Express Edition is not VBA, Visual Basic for Applications
