Default When Opening Form

I want to be able to be at a new record when I open my form. Currently I open
my form and then I must click on the new record button at the bottom. I would
think you would be able to bypass that step. Not a big deal but when I have
someone else enter data I am afraid they will overwrite on an existing record.
Please help with what I know will be a quick fix. Thanks.
