A new database record can be added to the current database by selecting New Record from the Database pull-down menu. A blank record is added to your database, the cursor automatically moved to the first field in the Field Order (Preferences>Data Entry Options dialog box.)

There are two modes for adding new records.

- the first mode adds a new record using the [Ctrl] - [Shift] - A shortcut. In this mode the cursor is always placed in the field which is currently first in the Field Order.

- the second mode is used when the record is added by simultaneously pressing the [Shift] and [Enter] keys.

HomePrint Labels can speed your data entry for commonly entered items. Each time you create a new record, HomePrint Labels automatically inserts information from the "Default Data" table of the Preferences>Data Entry Options dialog box into the newly created record.
