One way is to add a form property lEmptyRecordInGrid. In the refresh method of every control that you don't want used when there is a blank record, put This.Enabled = ! Thisform.lEmptyRecordInGrid

Set the property to true in your code that appends a blank record and refresh all the controls.

In the grid's Valid method, if Thisform.lEmptyRecordInGrid is true, scan the grid's record source. If there are not empty records, set the property to false and refresht the controls again.

To be really OOP, add a method to the form called SetEmptyRecordInGrid. This method should set the switch and handle the refreshing of controls.
