Hi,
Can anyone suggest how I would write an Event Procedure for a Form that is used to gather data that populates a table?
I want to open the form with a blank screen, rather than Record# 1. The form should open as though I want to add a new record. I am not sure what the code should be, but am thinking it should be done as an OnOpen event. The purpose is that a blank screen would tend to safeguard against someone entering data thinking it is for a new record, but really they would be altering the 1st record's data.

All help is greatly appreciated,
jbodford
 
Simply set the DataEntry property of your form to True

Hope This Help, PH.
