I have created a form with tab controls.
One tab is to browse records the other one I wish to use to Add records. On the on-click event of the tab I inserted:
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
but it does not do anything. Why?
How do I get a new record when the user click on the "Add Record" tab?

 
Make sure the focus is on the tab and not the form itself. Usually when it will not go to a new record it is because the focus is in the wrong place. JL
 
You don't want to put it in the OnClick event, use the OnChange event of the tab control. That should fix your problem.
 
Thanks Fancy. I have been having headaches over Tab Controls and Focus for the last two days, so your answer helped me also. Pink star to ya, JL
