ODBC and access

Hi gurus!
I'm new to visual c++ and right now I'm working on a project that is about bulding an address book database application with ODBC.now my question is this:
do I need to create a complete database in access(including all the records)before writing the application to access it? I'm asking this question because I just create a database in access and connect the application to it;but whenever I try to create a new record in the application a dialog box appears saying there is no current record.Why this problem? please I need some help.
thanx.
