A form is nothing more than a graphical
representation of a table. You can add, update, delete records in your table by
using a form. NOTE: Although a form can be named different from a table,
they both still manipulate the same information and the same exact data. Hence,
if you change a record in a form, it will be changed in the table also.
A form is very good to use when you have numerous fields in a table. This way
you can see all the fields in one screen, whereas if you were in the table view
(datasheet) you would have to keep scrolling to get the field you desire.
Create a Form using
the Wizard
It is a very good idea to create a form using the
wizard, unless you are an advanced user and know what you are doing. Microsoft
Access does a very good job of creating a form using the wizard. The following
steps are needed to create a basic form:
Switch to the Database Window. You can do this by pressing F11 on the
keyboard.
Click on the Forms button under Objects on the left side
of screen
Double click on Create Form Using Wizard
On the next screen select the fields you want to view on your form. Most
of the time you would select all of them.
Click Next
Select the layout you wish
Click Next
Select the style you desire...HINT: if you plan on printing your
form, I suggest you use a light background to save on printer toner and ink
Click Next
Give you form a name, and select Open the Form and enter information
Select Finish
You should see your form. To adjust the design of your form, simply hit
the design button (same as with the tables), and adjust your form
accordingly
