Data Entry Mode to Edit Mode(?)

We are currently having a database built for our company. When selecting a Form, it opens on a Blank Record, however, when we search for a record and select it, it will open the first record we ever entered into the database and then populate the record we are searching for. Is there a work around for this? We are told it is going from Data Entry mode, to edit mode and that is what is causing the temp record to populate. It is better to be shown in video than a picture, but I have uploaded a picture.

  • I'm speculating that what you call the "temp record" is Access Query By Form feature. Read up on it. It's not a bad way to offer powerful Search.
