From switchboard - do I need a separate form for Data Entry andRecord Edit?

[p-rat]

On my switchboard I have three choices. Enter in Data, Edit current
record, Run report.

The Edit Currrent Record pulls up a previously entered record via
query parameter. My question is do I need to make a copy of my Data
Entry (new record) form for this Edit? The macro or command or
whatever asks which form to pull up when setting switchboard. Does it
pose a problem if either choice pulls up the same form?

You can use the same form. Typically, there're different
considerations depending on whether your making a
new entry (record) into your database or editing an
existing entry, so you might need some code in your
OnOpen event to attend to such considerations.

For example, you might need to toggle visability of
a "Save New Entry" when all the required information
has been provided.
