Startup on forms

[tppatter]

I have created a form, and I would like users of this form to come to a new record when they open the form. Currently, the first record (e.g. 1 of 10) is the first record users see. Additionally, I would like to have the form come up completely maximized. Thanks in advance for any help anyone might be able to provide.

Go into the properties of your form and change 'Data Entry' Yes. Create a macro to run the maximize command and assign it to the 'on open' event of form.

put this on the On Open event property of your form:

DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
docmd.Maximize
