Carrying over info in my forms?

Hi There,
I hope this isn't a dumb question, but I have made myself
a nice form and the information that is in the first
record, most of it needs to be carried over to the next
form, and I would prefer not to retype it, just have it
automatically show up in the next record and then I can
make my changes in this next record, is there a way I can
get it to carry the info over to other records? Also
another question, for formatting, is there a way to get
rid of just the side and top borders of my text box and
just leave the bottom border? Thanks for your help.

See Knowledgebase article: ACC2000: Fill Record with Data
from Previous Record Automatically. It's at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;210236&Product=acc#appliesto. There are Knowledgebase
articles for other versions, too.

Don't see any way for the formatting you desire except
positioning a line at the bottom of each text box. I
don't recommend it.

The closest thing to a text box without top and side borders is the
"Chiseled" effect, which can be set in the Special Effect property of the
text box.

You can carry the current value of a control to the next
record by setting the .defaultvalue of the control to the
current .value of the control. Perhaps in the control's
AfterUpdate event.

To get just a bottom border for a textbox set the border
style to transparent and use a line control as the bottom
border.
