Detect When Entering New Record

MIG
Is there a way that, when using a single or continuous form which
allows additions and edits, I can detect when I am entering a new
record (eg moved on to *) rather than editing an existing one?

In general, while wanting edits to be allowed, I want to be able to
warn if certain fields are being edited unexpectedly, but not do this
while a new record is being entered.

It's to avoid the sort of situation where someone thinks they are doing
a filter by form but accidentally types all over an existing record (is
it only me that people do this to?).

Hello, I need to trap/detect when a textbox is entered via the tabkey. If the textbox is not empty when entered via the tabkey then set focus to next textbox. To enter that textbox would then require a mouseclick if it already contains text to be edited. I am guessing that I would need to trap for this in the Enter Event of this particular textbox. I tried this in the Enter Event of the Textbox, but...
