How do you get it so in the first record the fields are blank ready for data
input. Everytime I load my practice database it loads any forms with data
already in them.
 
Tracey,

Open your form to design view. Open properties to the Data tab. Set the
DataEntry property to Yes.
 
Sorry I'm confused.

I've opened my form in design view and I've right clicked in the Detail
section of the form and brought up properties and the data tab is empty it
just gives me a gray screen with no options for anything.

I've tried right clicking on other parts of the form but I still get nothing
on the data tab.

Sorry its probably just me!!!
 
You need to open properties immediately afte opening your form in design view so
that it shows "Form" in hte small drop down box at the far left of the toolbar
at the top of the screen. Alternatively, you can drop down the list in that
small combobox and click on "Form" and then open propereties.
 
I belive in your query to open up the form you need to add
this line to the Docmd statement acNew at the end this
should put you at a new record. This needs to be done on
the form load event
