You can use the DataEntry property to specify whether a bound form opens to allow data entry only. The Data Entry property doesn't determine whether records can be added; it only determines whether existing records are displayed. Read/write Boolean.
expression.DataEntry

|
Setting |
Visual Basic |
Description |
|---|---|---|
|
Yes |
True |
The form opens showing only a blank record. |
|
No |
False |
(Default) The form opens showing existing records. |
Note: You can set the DataEntry property by using a form's property sheet, a macro, or Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) code.
This property can be set in any view.
The DataEntry property has an effect only when the AllowAdditions property is set to Yes.
Note: When the Data Mode argument of the OpenForm action is set, Access will override a number of form property settings. If the Data Mode argument of the OpenForm action is set to Edit, Access will open the form with the following property settings:
-
AllowEdits — Yes
-
AllowDeletions — Yes
-
AllowAdditions — Yes
-
DataEntry — No
To prevent the OpenForm action from overriding any of these existing property settings, omit the Data Mode argument setting so that Access will use the property settings defined by the form.
