Hi, and thanks again for your help in the past. I'm doing a
form for data entry now, and trying to find out how to prevent
data from the previous record from appearing in the text fields
when adding a new record to a file. I've gone to the Tools->
Options->General page, and Unchecked the box to "Fill new records
with current values", setting that as a default, but it's not
having the effect I hoped.

My goal is to have a clean screen for entry of new records
into a file, as the information is not generally very repetitive
when adding new records. I only want to do this when adding
records, otherwise I could blank out the display on the Getfocus()
event. But I'm trying to use the same form for editing existing
records and even inquiry if I can get away with it.

I'm sure this information exists somewhere, but I haven't seen
it yet in the online help or the two books I have, from Que and
Microsoft().

Thanks again ...
