Can't Move Between Records on a Form with the Navigation Buttons

hi
Hi,
I've created a form, on the bottom it has the navigation buttons to move to
the next/previous records. However, the button for "new record" is greyed
out (i can't select it). How do I make the "new record" button visible so
I can select it? No matter what I do (Records->Save Records) it won't save
this record and allow me to enter another record. I'm creating a form
using Design View, some fields contain data that are input into the text
boxes while others are from fields from a table. I'm running Access XP,
thanks for any help.

The New record button is enabled only when the source of the form allows
new records. Maybe the form is based on a query that is not updatable.
Maybe you have inadvertedly set the AllowAdditions property of the form
to False (it should be True if you want to insert new records).

hi
In Properties under Data, the "Allow Additions" is set to "Yes". and I
don't see the "Allow Updates" option.
thanks for the replies.

Using a multi select list box to open several records in a pre - defined form. Most of the code that follows is taken from a posting by Alan Browne on his web site. The click routine is supposed to loop thru all of the reports, or in this case records, selected in the list box & display them for previewing or editing. In my situation it only displays 1 record in the form & does not perform the necessary loop. Have tried futzing with it...

I have a form that has a view of table1 and a set of buttons for manipulating the data in database1.

Hi, I have created a client form and can add new records which go in to the client table without any problems. However, I can only see one record when I open the form and can not scroll through or use the navigation buttons to see other entries - I can only see one entry. To give some background information, the form is based on a table and not a query so I do not know if this makes a difference. Also, in the relationships, the...
