Trying to make a form not sure how to do it

[FeelGoodInc]

I will attempt to describe this, hopefully it will make sense. Say
there is an input text box for a web site's name, and a checkbox for
say whether or not they have a search function. Also, there is a
textbox that allows you to enter something like a description of the
site like "Books" or "Video games" or anything you want.

This so far is easy enough, but what if I want to click a button like
"Add entry" so that I can enter another web site's name and check
whether it has a search function. The only thing that stays the same
is the description of the site.

So, if I have "Books" entered, and "amazon.com" checked for a search
function, then I click on "Add entry", then I can type in
"barnesandnoble.com" and check the search checkbox.

The only thing I could think of is to make the form's text boxes and
checkboxes invisible, and then when I click add entry, they would
become visible. This would be a lot of work if I needed say 15 entries
for "Books" and then 2 entries for something else like "Video games."

Dim strType As String
strType = Me.TypeOfEntry
Docmd.GotoRecord acDataForm,"YourFormName",acNewRec
Me.TypeOfEntry = strType

This is the same thing I was going to tell you. This will work like a
charm. :-D
