When I add a record, the record is appending to
the database file, however, the first record in the
database file reflects identical information inputted
to the new record.

Why is this happening?

Maybe I know, this form that creates the new record
also accesses other forms for descriptions and
instructions. I'm using scatter and gather to flip
back and forth between these forms to add info
to this new record.

How can I keep the record pointer on the new
record when switching to other forms? Please keep
in mind that I browse and create with these forms.
