[AccessD] Question 2...returning to a form

HA!  No no no.... I don't use data entry forms either. Anyforms for
that matter. I just write queries against Oracle tables. I used to do
forms way back in Access V 2 in 1996 or so.

I do remember that Data Entry forms behaved differently than forms
that weren't flagged that way though.
