Is There A Way To Stop This Behavior In A2007?

When entering data into a continuous form in A2003, if I click the
"New Record" button on the navigation bar, the form scrolls and places
the new record at the top of the details section ready for data
entry. The data can then be entered in the usual manner.
If I open the same database in A2007, the above happens, but as soon
as I start to enter data in a field the form scrolls again and places
the new record at the bottom of the details section of the form. This
only happens if there are enough records present to more than fill the
available number of rows in the continuous form.
This behavior could be very confusing to the user.
Is this a "feature" of A2007 or is there some way to stop this
happening?

Sounds funky.
I can't address the vagaries of Access2007 behavior, but as an option you
might disable the New Record button (set Allow Additions to False), then add
a custom 'Add Record' button that places the form in DataEntry mode, changes
the caption of the 'Add Record' button to 'Save New Record', and shows a
Cancel button.
