Clear a form 1
- Thread starter srodolff
- Start date
When you enter the values in a form, you are actually writing that data to the table under the form. What you then want is a new record in that same form.
The command, most easily written with the wiz, has a line of code that says:
DoCmd.GoToRecird,, ac New
That is the babe' that shows you a blank form with a new record.
That help???

1. i'm assuming you're opening the form from a button? in the button's OnClick event, add the Date Mode:
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria, acFormAdd
2. i'm assuming you mean "how can i make it make the form ready for entering a new record"?
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria, acFormAdd

Code:
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec- Thread starter

No go. When I add this command to the save button, I get a syntax error. I added this command immediately after the save record command.
BTW, I would also like to know how to return to the first record after the save record button is pressed.
I couldn't add the command when the form opens. I don't know where to specify it.
I hope that this isn't too confusing.
Thanks,
Steve

what was your syntax error? it's helps us help you if you include error messages and code here in your posts.
ok then--
1) this will make the form open ready to add a new record:
in the form design mode, if the PROPERTIES window is not already visible, choose from the menu VIEW+PROPERTIES.
in the DATA ENTRY property, set it to YES.
2) you are changing your story. in your first post you wanted the form to 'clear' after saving, then you say you want to go to the first record after saving, now you want to go the 'first field'. so many different requests....if what you mean is you want to go to a new blank record, with the cursor in the first field.....in the design of the form, right-click in the black square in the upper-left-hand corner of the form (in design mode). right-click and choose TAB ORDER. set the tab order as you wish. put the field you want first, first in the list. when the form goes to a NEW record, that's the field it will go in to.
