Add record only on button Click

[Tredici]

I was wondering if there is any way to control a user's input in to a form such that data entry does not automatically create a new record. Is there any way to collect all inputs in the text/combo boxes and create the new record only when a button is clicked? Cheers, David.

Hide the form's navigation buttons (form's Navigation Buttons property set to "No") and set the form (record) Cycle proprerty to "Current Record." Then use a button to create a new record.

There's others issues doing it this way, e.g. including, but not limited to, what if user cancels the input; what if user wants to go to that record later.

The navigation button are much, much better. Access does all the work for you. Take at good look at all of the form properties and what they mean.
