Hide button for new row in Access 2013 continuous form

I have a continuous form in Access with Allow Additions set to Yes. I'm trying to enable or disable a deletion button depending on if the user has filled in data in that record. In other words, I want to hide the button for only the blank record at the bottom of the form.

I tried the following in the Form_Current event but it enables or disables all buttons at the same time, and it only runs when I click on a record. I need it to run immediately and update when I add a new row.

If Me.NewRecord Then
    btnDelete.Visible = False
Else
    btnDelete.Visible = True
End If

EDIT: with working code.

If Me.NewRecord Then
    'show error message
    MsgBox ("Unable to delete empty row.")
Else
    'deletion code
End If
Solution

  • Continuous forms won't allow that - everything looks the same.

    You might be able to add code to the btnDelete_Click event that checks for Me.NewRecord and just exits the sub
