Hiding the record navigation bar at the bottom of a data entry form

I am using an acess form to have people enter data for a small scale
audit. Is it possible to hide the bar at the bottom of a form so that
the people entering data cannot navigate through records? I would
like to make it so that they can only see the record they are working
on, and can only add a record by hitting an action button that says
"Add Record."

Thanks,

Mark

In the Properties sheet of the Form, set "Navigation Buttons" = False ...
however, understand that users can still add a new record through the use of
various keystrokes AND the mousewheel ... if you want to explicitly
allow/deny users the ability to add new records, set the .AllowAdditions of
the form = False, then, using the Click event of your button, Set the
..AllowAddition s = True ... then in the AfterInsert event of your form, set
the form's AllowAdditions back to False .... kind of a PITA, but it'll work.

I have a form with about 30 fields. Much of data entry for this form involves the same data for many of the fields. To save typing time, in the form's AfterUpdate event I run a procedure that sets the defaultvalue property of each field to the value of that field in the last saved record. Essentially what happens is when a record is saved it becomes the default new record in the form. I have some comboboxes on the form that draw their data...

I have a form with about 25 fields. In the BeforeUpdate event of the form, I have code that sets the default value of each field to its current value. For a new record, I can put the focus in any field to start. If I edit that field and then click on the new record button in the navigation buttons, the form goes to a new record and each field has the default value of the previous record. If I put the focus in any field to start, edit that...

The search field Document ID is unbound combo box. The table is Documents. (2) "Document Reception Subform" is the sub form in tabular form. The linked field is DocID. The table is DocumentReception.

My Access DB has a main data entry form. There are so many fields on the form that I've added a vertical scroll bar. When my cursor is in a text box near the bottom of the form and click on the navigation button to go to the next record, that same text box still has focus and all of the text in the next record is selected. To view the top of the form, I now have to scroll up. What I want to have happen is this: I click on the navigation...

I have a MS Access database with multiple forms for data entery. All the data are stored in one table, but I have multiple forms to organize the data entry. I also have a main form that shows the record and has buttons linked to other forms for data entry. Clicking on each button will take you the form to enter the data. So, here is what I have: Main form with some minor information about a record (ID, name) and all the buttons, and then...

Hello and TIA for your consideration. I have created several db's for a non-profit and they want custom navigation buttons to display "You are on the first record, last record, etc". With this ng help I've created code for all except the add new record command button. If I create individual sub functions behind each form, no problem. The problem is I am trying to create a re-usable module.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
