Description of the issue
I've developed a Music Publishing database in FMP 10 and have been using it for some time now. I've done a lot of updates on it lately and have imported my catalog over to the new database, however, when I click on "New Record" instead of a new empty page, it gives me all of the information from the last record except for the song title.
I'm totally lost as to what to do about this problem. Can you help?
Thanks,
Smokey
Steps to reproduce the problem

None
Configuration information
No
Workaround
No
When you imported your data into the new copy, did you perhaps forget to update an auto-entered serial number field's "next serial value" setting? (The next value setting could be less than the largest number in the data you imported here.)
If so, your new record may be generating a new record with a serial number value that matches to existing related data and this might explain what you describe here.
