Form and report templates

Form and report templates

When you create a form or report without using a wizard, Microsoft Access uses a template to define the default characteristics of the form or report.

The template determines which sections a form or report will have and defines each section's dimensions. The template also contains all the default property settings for the form or report and its sections and controls.

The default templates for forms and reports are called Normal. However, you can use any existing form or report as a template. You can also create a form or report to use only as a template. For information on specifying a new template, click .
