Big difference. I (and Rick) thought you wanted to have all of the records already queried, presumably so you could browse through them. There is no order to the records in a relation (aka table) and hence there is no such "last record" as you had asked. You just want to open a form that's ready to insert a record (note the terminology - you "insert", you don't "append"). Put this in the initializewindow method of the window:

inherited.initializewindow()
insertrow()

No more agonizing delay! If you are inserting into a table other than the one that is the recordsource of the top-level form, use container_name.insertrow().

As to your original question 1, I don't see any way to call QBF either. Maybe if we ask nicely they'll add it in an update. It must be a simple method call somewhere in the bowels of OPO. Regards,
