Check the form's Properties to ensure that Allow Additions is set to Yes; you may also want to set the form's Cycle property to All Records (the default; someone might have reset it to Current Record). Do the nav buttons *not work* if you click them? John W. Vinson[MVP] |

Problems with entering data into a form
Hi John
I checked the properties as you suggested. The Allow Additions was indeed set to No. However, this hasnt resolved the problem. I can only tab around my fileds in the current form, and am not able to tab to next/new record. There are only the "goto first and goto last" navigation buttons highlighted and they dont work when clicked as there is only the one record available. Any other ideas on what Im doing wrong? Thank you. mark "John Vinson" wrote: On Tue, 29 Aug 2006 07:36:02 -0700, fenrir wrote: Hi I have a simple data entry form with 4 fields.

Clearly whoever developed the form set it up this way (going to some effort to get around Access' default behavior). Forms don't HAVE the buttons you describe (they have a navigation bar in the lower left, with * * type arrow buttons), unless the form designer turned that feature off. John W. Vinson[MVP] |

The scope has now changed and so ive handed the project back to the
originator. Thanks for your help with this, much appreciated. "John Vinson" wrote: On Wed, 30 Aug 2006 02:26:01 -0700, fenrir wrote: Any other ideas on what Im doing wrong? Nope.
