eliminate scrolling to find add a new entry

[Jimcb8]

The main form has a drop down box for the user to find the client record he wishes to add new visit data in the client visit history subfile.

When the client is found, a history subfile is loaded which has all of the prior client visits.

The history in the subfile contains two pieces of data:
date of the visit mm/dd/yyyy
# members in clients' family NNNN
The subfile history is sorted from oldest date to most current date.

For the user to add a new visit for this client, he must scroll down to the last record in the subfile and then add the new visit for this client.

Is it possible to eliminate the need for he user to scroll down to add a new history record.

I tried to sort the history subfile in descending order of date, but that only resulted in having the old history data in the correct order, but the place to add a new visit still remained on the bottom. The user still had to scroll down to add the new visit.

All of your thoughts appreciated.

On the property sheet for the form. Under the data tab change Data Entry for No to Yes.

Dale,
I believe that would prohibit the user from seeing the prior history entries in the visit subfile. You would in effect make the visit history file entry only.

Thanks

Yes It would.
Did not see in you post where this was wanted.
I thought you post was about entering new data.

Sorry, My mistake.
