No, you can keep the textboxes bound to the control source (alias). What I was saying is when you try to create the new "template" record for new entry, use the insert statement with maybe just one or two fields to prime the new record. Another thing to check is the buffering mode of the alias you are trying to add a record into... Its been a while since I had to remember the specific steps impacting triggers with/without buffering modes. I would try with optimistic buffering. One other approach is to just create a single validation rule for the record rather than for all individual fields in the table.
