Initial Command Property

Use the Initial Command property to specify a command that controls what happens when the form opens. These commands are available:

Setting Description
Refresh Perform Actions > Refresh.
This option opens the form and immediately returns all records in the collection (up to the record cap).
Filter Perform Actions > Filter by query.
This option opens the form and then immediately opens the query form associated with the form, if one exists.
Filter-in-place Perform Actions > Filter in place.
This option opens the form in Filter-in-Place mode.
Add Perform Actions > New.
This option opens the form in such a way that you are set to create a new record.
Event eventname Execute the specified event. After you select Event from the list, type the event name.

This property provides a simpler user interface to the underlying mechanism, the form variable InitialCommand.
