Data Entry Form

I am looking at two similar forms being used to input data. One form
updates the data on the form and clears the screen to allow a new record to
be entered. The second form requires you to click the append record button
before it clears the form and accepts a second entry. What aspect or
attribute of the form controls this?

Bound Access Forms automatically save the data when you move from the
current NewRecord to a new NewRecord. That sounds like the behaviour of the
first Form.

For the second Form, you need to look at what actions the Command_Click
Event does. It may be as simple as asking for Save confirmation or some
validation checks.

For unbound Forms, all updates to Tables are done codes.

It turned out to be the "cycle" attribute of the form. "Cycle All Records"
vs. "Cycle Current Record". Thank you!
