Form Opens Without Showing Data

[muriel]

One of my users is getting confused by a data entry form. When he closes the form and exits Access, it saves his entries in the master table(obviously), but when he opens the form again, the data does not show, and he cannot get back to see previous records he entered. Is there a way to have the records available without giving him access to the database design/master table?

Thanks!

Hi,

set form properties: "Data entry= No"

Hope this helps...

This is another case of Microsoft not using clear nomenclature. "Data entry= No" sounds like data entry isn't allowed on the form. The "Data Entry" property should have been named "Data Entry ONLY", which is what it really means.
