Question : Display data in Access 2007

I have a form where data is entered. When the user invokes a button, a vba docmd command writes the data to the appropriate table and clears the fields for the next entry.
I need a means of displaying the entered data in the same form so the user can see what work they have done... further, the user needs to be able to select the previously entered data from the last and re-populate it to the data entry fields for editing, if needed.

Answer : Display data in Access 2007

One approach can be to have a display only field right next to or above each text entry field.  As each form of data is processed, you can update the display only field with the entered text for each field before you clear the text fields. This way they can see the prior entered data.

As far reusing the prior data, you could either add a small button next to each input text box that would grab the text value from the prior entry (as mentioned above) and paste it into the input area, or you could define a hot key that when pressed on a field invokes a trigger that does the same copy of the prior data for that field into the live text box.
