Difficult Question regarding Forms

I have an interesting problem. Hopefully what I am
asking makes sense. 1st) I have to re-format a form for
data entry. 2nd) This form now will have three fields
that were originally what a new database entry was based
on. 3rd) I would still like these fields to create a
new entry, with the information from the other fields in
the form populating in the database for all three
fields. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I'm not following, Zane. 1st) You don't need to "re-format" a Form for
data entry; an Access form allows data entry as an option by default,
and you need to go to some work to turn that capability off! 2nd) I
don't understand this at all. "Based on"? What's the structure of the
table into which you wish to store this data? What's the Recordsource
of the form - the same table, or some other table? 3rd) Do you have
other fields in the Table upon which the form is based, and you want
to ... what? Store the data in these fields redundantly/repeatedly?
Just have them as defaults for new records?

Please clarify the structure of your tables, and how the form relates
to that table (or those tables)!
 
Sorry, that question is not "difficult" - it is "incomprehensible"!

Try to explain your problem more clearly. For example, no-one is sure what
you mean by "reformat a form".
