Create a form with a wizard

Create a form with a wizard

  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 the wizard that you want to use. A description of the wizard appears in the left side of the dialog box.

  4. Click the name of the table or other record source that includes the data you want to base your form on.

    Note   You don't need to do this step if you click the Form Wizard option — you can specify the record source for the form in the wizard.

  5. Click OK.

  6. If you clicked Form Wizard, Chart Wizard, or PivotTable Wizard in step 3, follow the directions in the wizard dialog boxes. If you clicked AutoForm: Columnar, AutoForm: Tabular, or AutoForm: Datasheet, Microsoft Access automatically creates your form.

    If the resulting form doesn't look the way you want, you can change it in Design view.

    How?

Note   If you click one of the AutoForm options, Microsoft Access uses the autoformat you last specified, either in the Form Wizard or using the AutoFormat command on the Format menu in Design view.
