You cannot use RecordsetClone for records that are not in the form. As the
name suggests, the clone set contains only the same records as in the form.
You will need to use another approach to retrieving other data from the
table. DLookup() might be the simplest:

OpenRecordset() will be more efficient if you are retrieving multiple
values, but requires some understanding of how to code it. Here's a basic
example:

Hello,

I have a form where I only allow new records to be added. I enable
this by setting the form property "Data Entry" to Yes.

I want to access other records in the same table- to autofill the new
record with a user select previous record.

Dim rs As Recordset
Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone
rs.MoveLast

MsgBox rs.RecordCount 'returns error when Data Entry =

When only allowing new records, this code returns "Run-time error
'3201', No current record." It works fine if the form isn't only
allowing new records.

Thank you in advance for reading this and providing assistance.
