Is it possible to make the navigationbuttons go to a new form ">*" on Form_Load ?

Let's say I have a table with 22 records in it. When I open up a form for entering/editing data, it opens up to the first record. I have to hit the NavigationButton that has a >* on it to go to a blank form (rec 23) - to enter a new record. I'd like that to occur on form load.

There is a docmd which brings in a new record. The wizard will show you the code. It is somethng like:

DoCmd.GoToRecord ,, acNewRecord

This could be triggered b y an onopenform event.

Hi Tim:

Rolliee's right; the exact DoCmd is:
Code:
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
