Moving between forms

[Karl]

I have a database of clients. It consists of one table with all the
information. I am using the Forms to enter the information about the
clients. I would like to move easily between Forms using a control button.
Using the Control Wizard, I can create a button which takes me between forms,
but I can't keep the client I am working on. I need to search the Form I
have moved to find the relevant client. How do I move between Forms and keep
the same client? I have seen similar questions, but I don't understand the
answers. I am a very basic user. Thanks for any and all help.

WHY several forms? You're making your job (both as developer and user) much
more difficult. What are the Recordsources of the forms? What is the structure
of your table? If it has fewer than 25 or so fields, you should be able to use
just one form; if it has more than 25 or so fields, it's almost certainly
incorrectly designed.

You can use a Tab Control on your form to manage screen real estate, showing
just a few controls on each tab page... but I really have to question your
table structure, which may be at the root of your difficulty.
