Whenever you open a table, the last row of the table is always a new record (i.e. blank) and is referred to as the new row. Adding a new record is therefore just a matter of typing data into the new row. The same applies to the forms based on the table.
To add a record, do any one of the following:
Use the scroll bars to move to the bottom of the table and click on the new row.
Select New Record from the Record menu, or click on Add Record in the Record toolbar. The active cell will become the first position of the new row.
You can now enter data in the fields of the new record. Whenever you begin to enter data in the New Record, another blank New Record is automatically created.
Rather than entering fresh data into the new record, you may want to duplicate an existing record.
See:
