Making form fileds empty

[redtwister]

I must be doing something wrong. I cannot make my form fields default to empty so that someone entering data into the forms for the first time has empty fields to work with. I was trying to use the Input Mask, but maybe that is not right.

Suggestions?

Thanks,
Chris

Hi

In your form properties change Data Entry to yes.

I cannot find that Form property. This is a 2002/2003 db, btw. i have looked through half a dozen forms to no avail.

I know the property you mean and it is also in my reference materials. But it does not appear in the properties list, either. Ugh.

Hi

I'm using access 97 but I just checked access 2000 and it has that property so I'm abit at a loss to why your version does not have it. Perhaps someone who's on your version can answer.

Supposedly, that property is in there, but I just don't see it. Very odd.

Form properties, data tab (97 thru 2003)

Be sure to be in design view. Chose "Form" in the combo in the upper left of the properties dialog...
