John,

Are you using some of the "canned" application assist features that come with VFP7, like the foundation classes?

I would expect the "New" button to do what it does because it generally signifies that a NEW record is wanted.
When an application wants to allow amendment of an EXISTING record it usually provides an EDIT or UPDATE button, and that will do what you expect.

good luck
