Well, simple code can do, suppose there are two buttons "CmdAdd", "CmdDel"

* CmdAdd.Click()
#CAPADD "Add \<New"
#CAPDEL "\<Delete"
#CAPCOM "Comp\<leted"
#CAPCAN "Can\<cel"

IF THIS.CAPTION = CAPADD
* ADD NEW RECORD
THIS.CAPTION = CAPCOM
THISFORM.CMDDEL.CAPTION = CAPCAN

Select myTable  && Avoid Work Area
Append Blank
** If you've and reference Key_No, replace with right value!!
** i.e. REPLACE myKEY_NO with ...

Thisform.Refresh
ELSE
* COMPLETE
THIS.CAPTION = CAPADD
THISFORM.CMDDEL.CAPTION = CAPDEL

Select myTable
   IF TABLEUPDATE(.F.) > 0
      WAIT WINDOW "New Record Successful added!" NOWAIT
   ELSE
      MESSAGEBOX("Fail to Add New Record!", 16, _SCREEN.CAPTION)
      =TABLEREVERT(.F.)
      GO LAST
   ENDIF
THISFORM.REFRESH
ENDIF

* CmdDel.Click()
#CAPADD "Add \<New"
#CAPDEL "\<Delete"
#CAPCOM "Comp\<leted"
#CAPCAN "Can\<cel"

IF THIS.CAPTION = CAPDEL
* DELETE RECORD
THIS.CAPTION = CAPADD
THISFORM.CMDDEL.CAPTION = CAPDEL

SELECT myTable
DELETE
SKIP -1
THISFORM.REFRESH

ELSE
* CANCEL ADD
THIS.CAPTION = CAPADD
THISFORM.CMDDEL.CAPTION = CAPDEL

SELECT myTable
TABLEREVERT(.F.)
SKIP -1
THISFORM.REFRESH

ENDIF

Anyway, the above code is a simply sample, you can add your own style!

What's more, DON'T use Combox nor Listbox at your form if you're using VFP 5.0
without download SP3 fix from microsoft.
If you use VFP 6.0, no problem!

Because it will move to WRONG record when "Thisform.Refresh"

P.S. I haven't compile above code, it may contain errors.. >^.^<
