Making the form blank

23 New Member
I have a form for entering data into a table. I would like the form to be blank when I open it, but it is showing the data contained in the first record of the table. Is there any way to set the properties so that it defaults to an "input new record" mode? In other words, I don't want it to display the data for the first record when I open the form... Thanks for any help.

Just set the properties on the form to Data Entry...Yes.

This will do it for you.

I have a basic Feedback form - I want to prevent blank entries. The problem with the below code is that the form still Posts if the 'message' field is blank. The form will not post if the 'email_address' field is blank, however. Why doesn't it catch empty 'message' field? <form method="POST" action= "<? $message = $_POST; $email_address = $_POST; if ( empty($message) || empty($email_address) )

Hi, all. I'd like to do the following, preferably *without* resorting to JavaScript: I have a long, dynamically-generated form questionnaire. Not all of the form fields are dynamically generated, though. I'd like to capture the NAME of every HTML form field element on the server, even if that element is submitted blank. The trouble is, with, say, radio buttons or checkboxes for example, a *blank* element does not get submitted at all.

Hi folks, I have a client with four websites. Each site has a contact form that is identical. They all have "required" fields validated through a JavaScript onSubmit() function. Upon validation, post values go to a PHP processing page that adds values to a database and generates an email to someone in marketing. For three of these sites, we have no problem, but the fourth keeps sending in blank forms.

Does anyone know of a way to quickly validate an HTML web form? I need to make sure that certain fields on my form actually contain data and are not submitted blank. I have tried using client-side Javascript validation which flags up when a field is empty but the form is still submitted. Here is the ASP code I am using to submit the form to an e- mail with CDONTS:

Greetings. I have a problem with a combo box incorrectly displaying blank items when returning to a form from a modal form. It's fine when the main form first comes up, but gets messed up when the main form is reactivated following opening and closing a modal form. Strangely, this was not a problem until I started using my Access 2000 db in Access 2003 (as an Access 2000 db). Details follow... I have an unbound combo box on my main form...

My task is to change the value of a button and then make it functional with the onClick handler. Changing the value to "Play Again" works, but making the onClick work accordingly does not. The following is a snippet of the script. What is keeping it from working? function displaycards1(){ document.form1.reveal1.value="Play Again"; document.form1.reveal1.onClick="setcards();"; } </script>

Alrighty Guys and Gals, I have another question that I hope you all can help me with. I have a report that uses a cross-tab query as its record source.

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.
