Accessing records in forms

[Guest]

Hello

I have a simple database, one table, one form, one report. I have the form
opening up when the database opens. I can enter daa in my fields, add a new
record, and proceed from there.

Unfortunately, I can only access records from my current session, not
records that are already in the table. I can see the records when I go to
table view, but would like to be able to access them via my form. I have
tried searching, but found nothing except a reference to some control.

Does anyone here happen to know what might be a solution, offer any form of
assistance?

Thanks,

Tim

Sounds like the form's Data Entry property is set to Yes, or you're opening
the form via DoCmd.OpenForm and using the acFormAdd argument for the fifth
argument.

You'll need to change Data Entry to No, or delete the acFormAdd value from
the fifth argument of DoCmd.OpenForm action.
