Database Objects: Forms

Forms put a pretty face on the Tables. Whatever is typed into a Form is saved in the Table that goes with the Form.

 

Forms can prompt Users to enter all of the necessary information. In this example the Customer Form includes a phone number Field, which is required. Forms can also include Command Buttons that save the data, close the Form and return to the Home screen.

 

Form Views: Form, Layout, Design

The Design View is a wonderful form editor with rich tools. The Layout View is a quick and efficient form editor. There are three Ribbons in the Design View: Design, Arrange and Format.

 

The Normal View shows the Form as a User would see it when they are entering data. Each Table may have a Form for data entry.
