Allow for addtion, deletion and data enntry in the form

[Guest]

Hello,

I have a problem, I changed in my FE for particular forms to to allow for
addition and deletion and data entry in the data property of the form. After
that I copy that to certain people.

Now, since I am the developper of the program I return back as before,
wchich is to allow addition, deletion and data entry by turn it to Yes in the
data property, then I saved it. When I open the form, I can not see the data
anymore. The data seems to start from record no. 1.

My question is how can I return it back to a previous facility which is to
allow everything. We need your help.

The problem is with the DataEntry property, if you set it to Yes the form
open and ready to input new record, and this is why you can't see all the
other records.

Set the DataEntry property to No, and then all the records will apear.
The AllowAddition property will allow you adding new records.

You will set the DataEntry to Yes if you use the form to enter new data only
without moving between the existing records.

I never set the DataEntry to Yes.
If I want to open the form for data entery I use the OpenForm Command line
to set it, that way you can use both methods

Docmd.OpenForm "FormName" , ,,, acFormAdd

Thanks very much Cohen, it works now as usual. You are awesome. So in most
cases data entry propery should be set to No?. Can you tell me in which
circumstances we can set it to Yes?.

Thanks in advance,
