I have a form with about 25 fields. In the BeforeUpdate event of the form, I
have code that sets the default value of each field to its current value. For a
new record, I can put the focus in any field to start. If I edit that field and
then click on the new record button in the navigation buttons, the form goes to
a new record and each field has the default value of the previous record. If I
put the focus in any field to start, edit that field go to any other field and
edit it, when I click on the new record button in the navigation buttons the
form does not go to a new record. I have to click the new record button a second
time to go to a new record. I also tried putting the code to set the defaults in
the AfterUpdate event of the form and I get the same problem of having to click
on the new record button twice.

Does anyone have any thoughts as to what may be causing this behaviour?

Thanks!

Steve
