Hi,
I have a form which I open at a specific record from a button, how do I open the same form from another button at a New record ?
Move to New would first go to the first and then go to new which causes a delay. Is there a way to change the forms Add Data Only property ?
Thanks
Hello,
The form is going to open as it currently sits. This means going through the same process and then adding more code to do something else.
You are better off in copying the existing form, change to property to add only and open that form with your new button. It will open quicker and directly to new record and you avoid more code.

Thanks, that is what I have, it just look strange at startup the form opens up with record then then the screen flickers before the new rec appears.
Is this possibly due to my crappy system resources, graphics adapter,etc?
Don’t see any such problem on my desktop. But it is a newer system and based upon your comments a much faster system. I also see barely any hesitation with the ‘move to new’ process. The difference here being the other records are available. With add only only newly added records are accessible.
Also, if using the add only form, insure you don’t have any extra code on the open form event (or otherwise).
@Ratslinger - Thank you
Well the only problem with add only is that the refresh goes to the first record even though I use a macro to bookmark and return the the actual record.
So I have to stick with my current macro with the on open Move To New
