Data shows up on edit form should be blank

[jerrywheels]

I have some edit data forms to edit, say, a customer, where the data for the first customer in the table shows up in the fields in the form except in the drop down customer select field which is in the header. The select customer field in the header is blank, and when the customer is selected the fields on the form change to the proper data. How can I have these forms open with blank fields, as a data entry form does?
Thanks

set the detail section visible properties to no until a selection is made in the header!

so in the afterupdate of the combo box set the detailsection.visible=true

Hey Rainman
I don't write code, but was able to figure out what you were telling me with a little experimentation. I put ME.Detail.Visible = False in the "OnLoad" Event for the Form, and the opposite in the AfterUpdate event for the combo box (as you directed me.) Thanks!!!

I'm trying to load my form blank also. The difference is I do not want to edit data just add new data. But the form which is a Continuous Forms opens with all the data. What is the simplest way to stop this from happening.

Thanks
