A general question about Data Entry. Typically when you open a Form you are in an Edit mode, placed on the logical start of the record set. Users can then move around, record by record, etc.

But is this best way for users to Add/Edit screens, or would it be better for them to have to press and Edit button to Edit, an Add button to Add, etc.?
What do most of you use?

In your menu or switchboard you can have a button that will open the form in question in Data Entry mode or another button to open it in Edit mode. Or you can put buttons on the form to let the user Edit or Add a new record. I think it is what will work best in your specific situation. Let your user tell you what will work best for them and then implement that solution.
