How do I create a form so that it opens to a blank form and ready for data entry? The users should only see the data they are entering. The form consists of a main form and sub form. Both should be blank when the form is opened.
Thanks.
 
One way to to open the form like this:
DoCmd.OpenForm frmname, , , , acFormAdd

Another way is to go to the Forms properties and under the 2nd tab (Data) change Data Entry to "Yes" Doing this will always open the form to a new record and may not be what you want to do.

HTH,
Shane
 
. . . or in form design view, default the forms [blue]Data Entry[/blue] property to [blue]Yes![/blue]
