Default 'Add Record' button on a form

Ramudo

If your table structure is such that you could have multiple records in
which you would "reuse the data", your tables may need further
normalization. In a spreadsheet, you'd 'copy' data from one record to the
next. It is quite rare to need to do that in a well-normalized relational
database.

If you'll provide an example or two of the type of data you'd want to
"reuse", and a description of your current table structure, folks here may
be able to offer their experience/ideas.

I am a novice on Access. I created a form that adds records to a table. I
included a button that adds the record to the table. When I click the
'Add
Record' button, the fields clear. Is there a way to have Access not clear
the fields so that I can reuse the data on some of the fields? Thank you
for
your help.
