How do I get rid of the blank form that attach to the current form when you start to enter data into a continuous form? I want the blank form to only appear after they click on the ADD Record button and not automatically.
I have tried to play around with allow addition and data entry and put them in before insert, after insert, on current but yield disappointing result. My initial setting where I set allowedit, addition, deletion and data entry = true works well under On form Open event but when i start to enter data... the annoying blank form just pops up and worst of all, start responding to Option group selection.
It does work when you set allow addition = false in After Insert event but it means I have to endure the annoying blank form until I click on save.
I'm using Access 2003.
Please help.

Hate to tell you, but I think as long as you're in Allow Additions = True mode you're always going to have that extra blank line waiting. If it's that annoying to you, then what I'd do is set Allow Additions to False for your continuous form then do is:
Have your Add Record button open up a small singleview form for entering the new record
Have the Navigation box for that form turned off
Have a Save button that you user has to click on when done, saving the record, requerying your record source then returning to your continuous form.

Thank you for your reply. :)
I have done that and actually set it using code assigned to AfterUpdate on my first control. The effect... the whole form turned blank. I have again tried to set the default view using code but Access only allowed such setting in design view and not during runtime. Mad!
Yes, the add, save, delete and even a Done button were in place, no navigation box but I'll try your idea of popping up another form for data entry. Worst of all, i'll just revert back to single form. Microsoft guys...if you are reading this... please take note...
Good day. Clear blue sky here in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia.
Sorry, forgot to say your single view form needs to be bound to the same query/table as your first table is.

I know there are several ways to speed up combo boxes and form

My problem is as follows
Most of the time I need to display form in continuous format, that

I have a combobox for types of music and a combobox for artists. The rowsource

In the query I use the name of the type of music combobox to limit the list of

I have a form (continuous) that show me data from a table (not a
query). I can only modify and move between the data of the first
record. I cannot move to the 2nd, 3rd, or 85th record, only the first.
I don't know if I've turned on something unintentionally or what.
Any insights?

I am using a continuous form for display purposes.
Above this form, a single record is displayed so that when the user
presses my NewButton they can enter a NewRecord which gets added to
the continuous form that displays below.
Under the NewButton I have these lines of code:

Hi guys,
I have a continuous form and one field is Day / Night, where a 'D' or 'N' is contained to represent each.

Hi
Using Access 2007, I have a form created that uses a combo box to select records from an underlying table. I want the user to be able to create a new record with absolutely no pre-set data in it to allow them to key in the new data themselves. I am really stuck as to how to do this.
I have added a cmd button to the form and have tried using the following code that I picked up from here:
Private Sub cmdNew_Click()

I have a continuous form showing Product Code and Product Name. Product Code
is five digits and is sequential. I have a textbox in the form header. What
is the code to scroll the continuous form so that as I type in the the first
two or three numbers of the product code in the textbox, the first product
code record appears at the top of the form. I would like the continuous form
to act like a combox with auto expand.
Thanks!
