Help! I'm new at access, and have just finished creating a form in design
view but now can't work out how to begin entering my data as the 'new record'
button isn't highlighted. Any suggestions why? Thanks
 
do you have property recordsource set to your table?
do you have property allowedits and allowadditions set to yes?
How did you open the form?

Did you create a table into which the data will be saved after you
enter it into the form?

Create a table.
Make the table (or a query based upon the table) the record source for
the form.
 
I too am fairly new at Access and I too designed a form (with the wizard) and
when I open it in form view, no fields or their labels are visible. My
answer to your questions is yes. I either double click it or open from the
menu bar.
