LO 4: Create database Forms


Information Sheet 1
Using wizard to create a simple form
• 1Introduction
• A form is a screen that allows you to enter, change, and view
the data in a database. Think of forms as windows into your
data that help users understand and work with that data.
• Forms are made up of controls, such as text boxes, buttons,
document tabs, and drop-down lists, grouped in a way that
makes them easy to use and helps you get work done.The
controls in the form are usually bound, or connected, to the
tables or queries in your database — but not always. For
example, a control that displays your corporate logo doesn't
have to be bound to a table field. It can just point to the
image it displays.In addition to entering data, you can use
forms in other ways. For example, you can create a form that
asks for input, and then generates a custom report based on
that input.
• In Access 2007, a form is an object that generally
serves three purposes:
• To allow users to perform data entry. Data can
be inserted, updated, or
• deleted from a table using a Form object.
• To allow users to enter custom information, and
based on that information perform a task. For
example, you may want to ask a user for
parameters before running a report.
• To allow users a method of navigating through
the system. For example, you may create a form
where a user can select a form to load, a report
to run, etc.
• Creating Forms using a wizard
• Creation of a form by using a wizard is the Ms
Access pre-defined way of creating a form by
simply following the series of steps and
choosing which field and format you would
want for your form.

form are usually bound, or connected, to the tables or queries in your

input, and then generates a custom report based on that input.
