Is it possible to configure a continuous form so that when the 'New Record' button is pressed, a new entry can be made in the same location where I was before entering the new record? I want to avoid being sent to the last row of the form.

1 a 1

No, I would like it to be possible to enter new data in the place where the user is currently located, and the record will be in the last place of the record after the form is refreshed. This would help me a lot because a lot of data is entered where about 90% of the same values are repeated, so it would give the user the possibility of using a separate button for the possibility of copying the same record that is located above and copying it to a new field, so that the entire text does not have to be typed again. I hope you understand what I wantYou mean in a continuous form you want to create a blank row in the middle of a dataset for subsequent completion by the user in a similar way that you would insert a row in excel?
I probably confused you. Most of the new input would use the normal way at the end of the record. But users send me feedback if it is possible that at the moment when the new record is almost identical to the records that were entered before, and to speed up the new entry in such a way that the entered fields are copied. That's why I'm asking if it's possible to come in a continuous form at the location of that record and start a new entry so that I can copy most of the same records that are above.You can do that without having to overwrite current records contents.
Your method sounds a horrible idea to me. Are those records not linked elsewhere?
just add a Msgbox to inform the user that the Current record has been copied As New record.. That's why I'm asking if it's possible to come in a continuous form at the location of that record and start a new entry so that I can copy most of the same records that are above.
i think that was his intention? so he can copy more record "above", rather than going to the "new" copied record (post#1)problem with that is the focus remains on the original record
you backread upto post #5 to understand what the OP has.A simple copy of a record (example from @arnelgp) will fail if there are fields that are uniquely indexed.
Something like this could be examined critically. Actually, only foreign key fields should be considered for repetition.because a lot of data is entered where about 90% of the same values are repeated
As mine were.Something like this could be examined critically. Actually, only foreign key fields should be considered for repetition.
This is not possible to change by using any form settings. The "new" record is ALWAYS at the end of the displayed records.Is it possible to configure a continuous form so that when the 'New Record' button is pressed, a new entry can be made in the same location where I was before entering the new record? I want to avoid being sent to the last row of the form.
