I can't add a new record in a form. How Do I?

I have set up a form in access 2003 to manage my sheep, but once i have added
the information to the 1st record I am unable to add a new record. I have
tried adding a new record with any information in it but it still does not
work. I am aware you can create a table and use that to create your form, but
i dont want to do that because 1 record contains simmiliar information about
the sheep.

Can You Help Me? Please

Hi -

From your description, you have created a form that no table as its
record source. When you close the form, all the data in the controls
goes away with it.

If you want to save any data at all, you must create a table - that is
where the information is stored. A form only displays data, serves as a
means to enter it, or both. So, create your table first, then use the
table as the record source for the form.
