How To Touring a Form in Access 2003
Database designers often display data in forms that
mimic the paper forms used to record data. Forms facilitate data entry
and record viewing. They can also contain buttons that allow you to
perform other actions, such as running macros, printing, or creating
labels. The options that appear on a form depend on what features the
database designer included. A form directs you to enter the correct
information and can automatically check your entries for errors. Access
places the data you've entered in the form into the proper table or
tables. You can open a form in Form view or Design view. Form view
allows you to view all the information associated with a record; Design
view allows you to modify the form's design.
