How are Access forms created?

Answer 1

Depends on what kind of form you want.

You can use the wizards, which will guide through a basic form linked to either a table or query, or you can start from scratch with a blank form using unbound controls (unbound means the form nor its controls are linked to a datasource) which you can manipulate using VBA. But based on your question, I would go with the former option. You could go on amazon and look up some books that are out there (there are MANY). One good one is "Access: Inside and Out by John L Viescas and John Viescas. I like this book because it gives instruction to beginers, but also has enough information in it to take you to the next level of development using VBA code and linking to external datasources (Teradata, DB2, Oracle, ect.).

Also, the online help can be invaluable once you get a basic idea on how the system works. One of the greatest Rapid Application Development tools ever, imho.

Answer 2

In Microsoft Access, select forms, and then new, and then use the form wizard. You have to base your form on a query or table. Microsoft programs are all menue drive, but Access is the least intuitive. There are a lot of on-line tutorials for the program, however. Just google and take your pick.
