Not quite true. All one has to do to browse existing records in a form that was
opened in Data Entry mode is go to the menu or toolbar and "remove all filters".
If the user will mostly be doing data entry it would be more efficient to open
in data entry mode and then remove all filters (better yet apply different ones)
when the user wanted to look at other records.

Having the form open to "all" records is never a good idea.
