There are several tutorials on form design that can be accessed using the Base Tutorials link at the top of the Base Forum page.
For anyone to give you specific help you will need to upload a sample database that includes your form.
Instructions on uploading can be found at

I can't say for sure, but I suspect you may need to add a button to your form.
While still in the Design Mode Right click on the button and select Control. From the General tab of the Button properties dialog scroll down to find Action and select Refresh Form from the drop down list, and then save the form. Whenever the button is pressed the form reloads showing any newly entered data.
