Blank form

[Amour]

Hi I am new to Access and I have this problem that occurs when the user
either presses the last tab key or when you turn the scroll wheel on the
mouse. In each case this action causes the form to go blank.

What I want is for this not to happen..

Where is the problem?

Thank You for any help on this matter

You are probably going to a new record.

I checked to see if a blank record was written to the table and No there was
none. It just blanks the form (does not write to table).

Please help

Once you move to a "new" record in the form, the record is not written to
the table until you make a change and then move away from it. You can fix
the problem with the last tab key by changing the Cycle property of the form
(on the Other tab of the form's Properties window) to Current Record instead
of All Records. That won't solve the problem with the mouse scroll wheel,
however.

There is a utility available to disable the mouse scroll wheel, although I
don't have the link to it handy. Do a search of this newsgroup for "mouse
scroll wheel" and you'll probably find it. One note: I believe this
functionality has changed under Access 2007, where the scroll wheel no
longer does that by default.

Hi, I was able to fix the problem with the Scroll wheel on the mouse by
changing the default view property on the form from: single to: Continuous
Forms

Thank You very much for your help!
