Default Open Form with Blank Fields/Controls

Hello,

I'm seeking to be able to open a form used for data entry without a current
record(s) showing. It seems that the form is preset to always include the
first record(s) that were entered into it and stored in the bound table. Is
there a way to do this so a user has a clean form in which to key immediately
upon opening it?
Thank you.

Set the Data Entry property of the form to Yes.
It will then open to the new record, without loading any existing records.
