Simply use a continuous Subform, sized to show (at least) two
addresses. The user will see the first two addresses, and if you leave
the navigation bar on the form, will see how many addresses there are
in all; and will be able to scroll up and down to look at those that
are out of view. After adding a new address they'll automatically be
put into the input "new" record for yet another new address.
