Moving to the last record of a continious form

18 New Member
I have a continious subform which is only visible when the main form gets open.
The subform has a text box which is locked for the user.In order to enter something into it, a user has to click a button which will open zoom view and anything entered into the zoom view and clicked on Save button would get saved in the subform.
The problem is that whenever the subform gets visible the focus is always on the first record,when a new record is added the control doesn't go to the new record.It always comes to the first record.A user has to always scroll the subform to see the new record he/she has added.

How do I make it so when I see the subform through main form it automatically brings up a new record to be entered and not record 1.

or

After adding a new record how the control will come to the new record instead of going to the record 1.

Hi. If you set the subform's Data Entry property to Yes you will restrict the form to entry of new records only. Please note that your users will not be able to edit (or even to see) existing records using that form if you set Data Entry to Yes (or, equivalently, to True using VBA code).

But I need the existing records.Editing those records is not necessary.

Tell me one thing - is it possible to go to the last record of a continious form after inserting a new record?

I have a continious form which keeps automatically scrolling down when it is loaded.

This looks very poor to the user. Appreciate if someone could point me in the right...

Hi Guys, I'm very new to access and I've been trying to get the hang of it over the last few days, but I've become very confused with various aspects of how to code it. Introduction: I am using 3 tables for my data base at the moment. The first table is an ID table, which tracks IDs that are in use/taken. The second table is a queue, which has very little/limited information on a person. The third table is a log, which has much more...

Hi folks, I've got something that's driving me crazy here. If you don't want to read a long explanation, this is not the post for you. My problematic Access app is a DB for keeping track of software test data. Each instance of a test is associated with a "test case", that is, a test item. Each test instance (or "run") may have a number of other characteristics too, such as browser used, OS (XP, Vista, Linux, Mac OSX, etc.), etc., but for...

Hello, again. What a great resource for us beginners is this forum! I've got another question...Even though the record selectors and navigation buttons are removed from a form you can still advance to the next record in a table after the last field is filled. Does anyone have a method for preventing that happening? Maybe some way to send the focus back to the first field on the form on the same record? Many thanks for your help! Greg.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
