Form only adds new records, but will not edit them!

My form is populated by the results of a muli-column combobox to find the correct record. It sucessfully populates all fields, however when ever I close the form, instead of updating the record it populated from, it creates a new record. The intent of this form is to edit records but not create new ones, and it is doing the exact opposite. I realize this is fairly non-specific, but I will be glad to provide details as necessary.

John,
In design mode of the form, look at the form properties. I think the Data Entry property is set to Yes and should be No.
