Getting a form to open at new record

[Seamus]

I have a form opening at startup. I would like to have
this form immediately go to the new record position. I
know that the shortcut to do this is <Ctrl> + +, but is
there a way to make it happen automatically?

Thanks,
Seamus

Set the form's Data Entry property to Yes

If all you want is a new record, set the form's DataEntry property to Yes.

Setting the DataEntry property to Yes won't allow you to navigate back to
previously existing records. If you want to be able to do that, put the
following code in the form's Open event:
DoCmd.GoToRecord,,acNewRec
