Tutorial Summary Microsoft Access is a unique tool released by Microsoft that provides both the functionality of a database and the programming capabilities to create end-user screens. In this Access tutorial, we covered the following: What is a form? Let us assume we want to simply have a quick form that we are going to use for data entry for our employee information.
Click on the double arrow to move all the fields at once. The following screen in the Form Wizard will ask for the layout that we would like for our form.
We have columnar, tabular, datasheet and justified layouts. We will choose the columnar layout here and then click Next. In the following screen, we need to give a title for our form. Let us call it frmEmployees. Once you have given your form a title, you can open the form to see what that form looks like, or you can begin entering information into your table. Or you can choose the option to modify the form's design.
Let us choose the first option to open the form to view or enter information and click Finish. Now, take a look at the following screenshot. This is what your form looks like. This is a single item form, meaning one record is displayed at a time and further down you can see the navigation buttons, which is telling us that this is displaying the record 1 of 9.
If you click on that button then, it will move to the next record. If you want to jump to the very last record in that form or that table, you can use the button right beside that right arrow, the arrow with a line after it, that's the last record button. If you want to add new employee information, go to the end of this records and then after 9 records you will see a blank form where you can begin entering out the new employee's information.
This is one example of how you can create a form using the Form Wizard. Like Oracle is associated with Server database, Access is always the most preferred desktop database by anyone. But do not underestimate the power of this software to be only associated with desktop applications. This database can be very well used for any moderate to high-end application too. The most important feature of this database is its very powerful database engine.
It is very effective in its searches and since this database is designed to be compatible with all other Microsoft products, integration of this database with any other Microsoft application is quite easy, effective, and a smooth flow process. The well designed and effective GUI graphical user interface is another mentionable feature of this database. The GUI is very friendly and encouraging even for a beginner to understand the design and features of this database.
The only factor which is bothering is the cost factor. A multiple item form, also known as a continuous form, and is useful if you want a form that displays multiple records but is more customizable than a datasheet, you can use the Multiple Items tool.
In the Navigation Pane, click the table or query that contains the data you want to see on your form. Access creates the form and displays it in Layout view. In Layout view, you can make design changes to the form while it is displaying data.
For example, you can adjust the size of the text boxes to fit the data. For more details, see Create a form by using the Multiple Items tool. When you are working with related data that is stored in separate tables, you often need to view data from multiple tables or queries on the same form and subforms are a convenient way to do this.
Since there are several ways of adding a subform depending on your needs, for more information, see the article Create a form that contains a subform a one-to-many form.
A navigation form is simply a form that contains a Navigation Control.

On the Create tab, in the Forms group, click Navigation , and then select the style of navigation form that you want.
Access creates the form, adds the Navigation Control to it, and displays the form in Layout view. For more information, see Create a navigation form. There are several options that you can use to customize your forms, see if some the following fit your needs:.
