A form, opens with present data already inside of the text boxes as opposed to the text boxes having the default values that i had specified. Not sure of why. Also, i have another for that is to add records, but if i start to add a record, and click no on the confirmation, it adds the record anyway. Any Suggestions?

If the controls are bound they will display existing data unless you move to a new empty record. You can set the form to data entry only to avoid this problem.

As for confirmations, Access adds things as you enter them. What ever you think is confirming, isn't.

 
Thanks, I have the form set for Data Entry, and thats what its doing, I thought that maybe by turning off the allow additions, allow edits, and allow deletions, since all i want to be able to do is find info, i thought that would work, but when i do that all i see is a blank screen. Why is this?
