input new record through a form

I am new at this.
I have created tables, queries and forms.
All seemed to go well. I can pull up information with forms from the tables.
I made a new form to input new records.
The tables do get updated but when I go back to the other forms to search
for the new input information, a blank form comes up. I can still look up
the original information, just not the newly added.
PLEASE Help! This is driving me crazy!

After you add a record, can you see it in the table?

If so, the form where you want to see it but can't is built with a record
source (probably a query). If you open that query, is the record there?
Are there any criteria in that query that might prevent the new record from
being seen? Is it based on more than one table where your new records
might not have an entry in one of those tables?

you may have also inadvertantly created a data entry form rather than a form
that shows all data. You would be able to see it in the properties.
