Continuous Forms View Question

Is it possible to prevent the blank New Record row from appearing at the
bottom of a form whose default view is Continuous without setting the form's
Allow Additions property to False? If I choose to add a new record that's
fine, but once the new record has been added I'd like for the empty fields to
go away until I ask to add another record.
Thanks!

What you are actually asking for is to disable standard functionallity which
should be there in the first place and enable it when you'd like it. Strange
and my guess is that you have to trick access in doing it.

think of it this way:

set the additions enabled to false
create a button which says 'new'
this button set's the form additions enabled to true
create a 'save' button
when pressed this button set's the additions enabled option to false again..

something like that?

The truth is, it's confusing to users who don't understand why there's an
empty record on the screen... If I could "move" it to appear in the form
footer or something... I have another application where I have used a 2nd
form which works... I'll try your solution. Thanks!
