Continue to new form

[northernwill]

When entering information into a blank form, I would like to be able to continue entering information to another additional blank form after my last entry. Is there a way to continue to a blank form after entering information into the previous blank form? I would just like to continue without having to close the entire form and then reopening another form.

Welcome to the forum.

Is your form bound or unbound?

If it is bound, what is the Allow Additions property set to?

 

[northernwill]

Not sure if it is "bound" or "unbound" but the allow additions is set to yes.

Okay... after research, this form is "unbound".

How are you committing the data to your underlying tables?

I use this form for dispatching drivers for a motorcoach company. Upon opening my form, all entries are empty and I just enter the information into each cell. In the past I was able to keep tabbing to the next cell and at the end of the form, my next tab would get me to another blank form (which is my preferance). I played around with an antivirus program this weekend and now I am not able to do this anymore (probably unrelated).

Thank you for your help with this John. I really do appreciate your expertise.

If you form is Unbound, as you say, that means that the data entered into the form needs to be committed to the underlying tables using either VBA code or macro actions.

However if the form is bound to a table then data entered into it should be automagically saved to the table. Also check the Form's Cycle Property.

That freakin' did it. Thank you, John. You are the best!

Glad you got it sorted
