Cannot blank out form fields from recordset

I am developing a voting application that validates
voters against a member database. When I search for a
member, the result is displayed in a form. Between searches
I want the form to be blanked out and not show the result of
the previous search. When I attempt to put blanks in the form
fields, it goes back into the database and blanks out the fields
in the records. I thought that when I left a procedure, the
recordset was closed, and I could blank the form without
affecting the database fields. How do I blank out the form
textboxes without affecting the underlying database record?

Thanks for your help. Bob

Bob,

Can you clarify a little. What part of the form are you wanting to show blank? If your form shows a member and details for that member and you go to a new member showing the new members details...what is being displayed from the prior search? Is this a subform that you want to sync with the main form?
