Ok, I'm using (rather *copying* ) some code off from Microsofts sample, so I think I might have managed to do this...I'll update once I get it going (about moving the cirrent balance data autoamtically into the next record)...I now need to know how to stop the next record from automatically entering whenevr I add a new record in continious form view? The next record always comes up, ready and blank and that really confuses the users over here...any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!
