Dear all expert

Please provides some suggestion on the following issue

I want to protect the keyin records from amendment by removing record
selection bar and create only add records and save buttions

However the form always point to the first records when reopen .

Is there any way to open the form with blank ?

I am using the scroll mouse and find out that the scroll can be used to
select the previous records. anyway to disable it

If I want to ensure that the user must print the records before exit the
program
Which command used to monitoring the status of print buttion?

Question has been answered, try www.mvps.org/access (Sorry, I can't
provide an exacter handle)

That is not sufficient. You must maintain record of which records have
been printed, I guess. Create an extra field, set it to True when the
Print button has finished successfully (that may not be trivial) and
upon exit check for fields with thatfield=False. For ideas search
'prevent Access close button'.
 
Have you tried a macro to open the form in 'add' mode?
This opens your form as a clean form. Other suggestions
would be to utilize a switchboard. This also allows you
to open a form in add mode preventing typing over the
previous entries. Not sure if scroll feature can be
turned off. Unsure of intent for last question.
