[Solved] Save record & go to empty one for next entry

Post by jonboy »

I installed openoffice 4.1.9 > created simple database > When I fill in fields using Form > How do I save record and automatically go to next blank page to enter more information? Thank you in advance.

On the Form Controls tool bar there is an icon for More Options. That brings up another tool bar that has an icon for a Navigation bar. Add one of those to your form and you can move to the next or the previous record, add a record, etc.

Add a regular push button.
Set action = "New record"
When you go to the new record the previous one will be saved if it is modified and if it is valid.
Please, edit this topic's initial post and add "[Solved]" to the subject line if your problem has been solved.

This helps a lot. By accident, I found just hitting the *Enter Key* does the same thing.
