In a form that the user can goto Next or Previous record, how do I prevent
them from going to a New record?
 
Actually, I saw that solution on another post, but it still allows the form
to go to a new blank record, although it does not allow that record to be
saved. I think I have seen some VBA code that prevents the form from going
to a blank new record.
 
Peter,
What version?
I can't duplicate your problem.
A form, with Allow Additions = No, will not allow access a new record.
So there's something else going on here...

Try this...
Place an unbound text control on the form with a ControlSource of...
=IIf([newrecord],"New","Not New")

Also, what code are you using to open the form?
If you use the acFormAdd, or acFormEdit, you can override the
AllowAdditions.
Try just
DoCmd.OpenForm "YourForm"
to see if that makes any difference.
