Open a Form and Go To New Record in Access

In this Microsoft Access tutorial, I'm going to teach you how to open a form and go to a new record and a specific field. Then as a bonus, I'll show you how to set the description text of your contact form equal to the first 50 characters of whatever notes are typed in, if the user doesn't enter a description. Cool stuff.
