Insert Navigation Buttons

There are no navigation buttons at the bottom of my forms
which allow me to bring up a new form once one has been
filled out. The HELP instructions on this matter could
not be more obtuse. Also, my primary key field does not
display on the form - is this a problem?
 
Open the form in design view. The form itself will be the initially selected
object. Open the property sheet (if it isn't already open) View->Properties
or Alt+Enter. Now look under the Format tab of the property sheet. Change
the Navigation Buttons Property to true.

The Primary key does not have to be visible unless you need to be able to
enter/edit the field. If it is an AutoNumber field it is often best hidden.
 
The Navigation Button property was already set to "yes".
I entered it again but the navigation still doesn't show
up when the form is opened.
 
Interesting, I have no idea what else might be wrong - just to be clear (in
case I missed something) we are talking about the |<, <,>,>| and >* buttons
right?

If you can duplicate this problem in a very scaled down database you can
email it to me at smdaigle which is at mvps.org (spam is killing me!) If you
decide to do this please compact the sample db then zip it before you email
it.
