Using Navigation Controls in Forms

When you use a form to enter data, pressing the Tab key moves you from field to field. Pressing Tab from the last field in the record will move you to the next record or create a new blank record. You can also use the navigation buttons to move between records. The navigation buttons found at the bottom of the form window are the same as those in the table window.

To navigate among records in a form:

1. Move to the next record by clicking the Next Record button.
2. Move to the last record by clicking the Last Record button.
3. Move to the previous record by clicking the Previous Record button.
4. Return to the first record by clicking the First Record button.
5. Move to a specific record number by typing the number in the Specific Record box, then pressing the Enter or Tab key.
6. Click the New Record button to automatically insert a new blank record.

When entering data in a form, after you enter data in the last field, press the Tab key to open a new blank record.
