Default Skip Records on a Form

I have form based on a table. The table is appended daily with new records.
The goal of the form is to provide a place where people can view the new
records and input data into the records. The problem I have is that the form
is displaying old records as well as new. I want the form to display only
new records that have not been updated by the user through the form. Any
idea how I could acheive this? Thanks in advance.

Default Skip Records on a Form

How do you differentiate between "old" and "new" records? I.e. what
attribute of a record tells you (or more appropriately, tells Access) when a
record is no longer "new"? You mention "updating by the user." What does
that involve and how do you identify records which have been "updated by the
user through the form"? It is quite likely that the answer to that question
will tell you what criteria you need to apply to the form to filter out
those records.

If you set the form's Data Entry property to True, the user will see only the
blank new record and any records that they have entered since the form was
opened (i.e. if they close Access and go to coffee break, when they open
Access again they'll see a blank form).

If you mean "records added today" then you'll need to base the form on a query
selecting only those records, using a criterion on some value in the table
(perhaps a date-added field).
