Entering data

I created a Safety database that holds all information (name, ssn,
qualifications etc) of the personnel on my ship. I created a form screen
that you can do data entry to enter new personnel as they arrive. How do I
get the form screen to bring up existing data? Example: If I enter my last
name, it should fill all the blocks with my existing data in the database (ie
my ssn, first name qualifications). It does not do this. All the data is
located on one table called "Safety".

Thanks for any information

Is the form's Data Entry property set to yes? If yes, then the form will
only let you enter new data. Set it to no in order to see existing records.
The navigation buttons at the bottom of the form can be used to manually
move to other records.

If you want to find a particular person, use the form's Find feature in the
menu.
