Button to add new record isn't working (Accesss 2013)

[charlesstricklin]

My Access chops are rusty, but I'm pretty certain I'm following instructions correctly, yet my Add Record command button fails to add a new record.

1. I've created a command button in Design View.
2. The Command Button Wizard comes up and I choose Add New Record from the Record Operations Category.
3. I choose the Text option, provide the text for the button, and click Finish.
4. I save the form.
5. I Open the Form...
6. Click the Add Record button and... nothing happens.

Where am I going wrong? Am I misunderstanding something? I'm using Microsoft Access 2013.

Can you post the code?

Can you post the code?

How do I do that? When I click on the On Click stuff, I get a bunch of drop down menus, not code.

I did add this a moment ago, but it doesn't do anything:

Option Compare Database


Private Sub cmdAdd_Click()
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
End Sub

Can you add a new record in the table or query that's the form's source?

Add new record on a form should only just bring up a form with blank fields that you can add a new record with, but wouldn't actually add a new record until you fill in the form fields. Is that what you mean by nothing happens - if so it's what is expected.
