Create a blank form and select a record source

Create a blank form and select a record source

  1. In the Database window, click Forms under Objects.

  2. Click the New button on the Database window toolbar.

  3. In the New Form dialog box, click Design View.

  4. Click the name of the table or other record source that includes the data you want to base your form on. If the form won't contain data (for example, if you want to create a form to use as a switchboard to open other forms or reports, or if you want to create a custom dialog box), don't select anything from this list.

    Note   If you want to create a form that uses data from more than one table, base your form on a query.

  5. Click OK.

Microsoft Access displays the form in Design view. For information on what you can do in Design view, click .
