Default Blank continuous form

I have a continuous form on my main form which works fine but my question is
how do I keep the Blank continuous form from appearing when I put a new
record in or can I hide the new form until I need it.

Several different people will be using my DB and the extra blank form is
causing them problems because most of the one using it has NO computer skill
at all.

The obvious answer is to train those folks or not let them use the database.
Not doing so invites problems, perhaps even more serious than you are having
now. That said, in the continuous form's property sheet Data tab, choose Add
Records and set it to no. You will then need a button to change the form
property to add records.
