I have some forms that I add Students or Classes into their respective tables. Just to make it more user friendly, how do I set it so when I open the form, everything is blanked out and is ready to enter in a new record? Right now I open the form and it displays the first record, then I have to click the button with the sideways triangle with an * next to it to get to a New Record.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Take a look at the 5th argument of the DoCmd.OpenForm method (acFormAdd).
You may also consider the DataEntry property of the Form object.

Hope This Helps, PH.
