previous record not showing

[reportyemi]

sorry in case this shows up twice. Setting up patient record. Access 2007 is
split manually and forms and querries in FE and only tables in BE. When we
input into form , it creates a record which is seen on the table. However
when we try to access the previous patient record , only a new blank form
appears. Yet the old records are there. Whats going on?

Thanks

is it that the form used to open a data entry screen to a new record
will not reflect all records, although the previous record is there.
In which case you may have to find and edit the record.

I am unsure what the response means. But i cant get to bring up previous
records when i click the previous patient button . Yet looking at the table
the information goes to, the record is created.

Open the Form (not the table) in design view.

Look at its Properties.

I'm guessing that the property named Data Entry is set to Yes.

Change it to No.

That's exactly what the Data Entry property is for: to create a form that lets
you only add new records, not view old ones.
