Default fields and underlines

You mean to reset the form? Depending on version, you may be able to reset
it by unprotecting and reprotecting, but in recent versions you have to do
this through the Tools menu, as the button on the Forms toolbar doesn't
reset the form. And of course if the form is password-protected, you
wouldn't be able to unprotect it.

There's undoubtedly a VBA command that could somehow be run. There are
ClearFormField and ResetFormField commands that could be added to a toolbar;
if you could use Ctrl+A to select an entire form, that might work. But I'm
just speculating, as I have almost no practical experience with forms.

Very good. Forms seem to be working well.
This may not strictly be a 'tables' question, but once I have saved a form
as *.dot,is there a fast way to restart a form?
For example, if I ha half-way through filling out a form and want to start
over, only way I can find to do it is FILECLOSE followed by FILEOPEN1.
Any single key (or combination, CTRL-O)) for 'do-over?
