Hello Larry,

To create a button to open a form to a new record you can use either the macro builder or a VBA event procedure.
The Macro Builder
1. Create the button. If the wizard pops up, close it.
2. Open the Property Sheet and click the Events tab.
3. On the OnClick row, click the   button to the far right of the row.A dialog box will open with three choices,
a. Macro Builder
b. Expression Builder
c. Code Builder
4. Choose the Macro Builder and the Macro Pane will open.
5. Type openform in the box and press tab.
6. In the form name type the name of the form. You can also choose the form in the dropdown list.
7. The form view will default to form. This is what you want.
8. In the data mode type add or choose it from the dropdown list.
9. Save it and return.
VBA Event Procedure
1. Repeat steps 1-3 above.
2. Choose the Code Builder
3. In the Code Builder pane you will see:
Private Sub Command0_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "ClientF", , , , acFormAdd
End Sub
Note: The Italic  DoCmd.OpenForm "ClientF", , , , acFormAdd will not be there. You will have to type this in yourself, with the name of the form you want to open. For Example, if you want to open a form named EmployeeF, type DoCmd.OpenForm " EmployeeF ", , , , acFormAdd.
I hope this helps!
