Hiding the record navigation bar at the bottom of a data entry form

I am using an acess form to have people enter data for a small scale
audit. Is it possible to hide the bar at the bottom of a form so that
the people entering data cannot navigate through records? I would
like to make it so that they can only see the record they are working
on, and can only add a record by hitting an action button that says
"Add Record."

Thanks,

Mark

In the Properties sheet of the Form, set "Navigation Buttons" = False ...
however, understand that users can still add a new record through the use of
various keystrokes AND the mousewheel ... if you want to explicitly
allow/deny users the ability to add new records, set the .AllowAdditions of
the form = False, then, using the Click event of your button, Set the
..AllowAdditions = True ... then in the AfterInsert event of your form, set
the form's AllowAdditions back to False .... kind of a PITA, but it'll work.
