Forms
Forms, like
tables, allow you the opportunity to look at your records. A table,
however, allows you to look at all of the records at once. (or as
many as can fit on the screen) A form shows only one record at a
time. The real purpose of forms is to allow data entry. Forms can
be formatted with different setups, different ways to enter data,
and can allow a more thorough look at individual records.
AutoForm 
You can choose
AutoForm out of the New Object list. This will automatically create
a form based on whichever table or query was selected at the time.
Form Wizard
To have more
design control over your form, choose Form from the New Object list
and choose to use the Form Wizard, which will step you through the
process of creating a form. The four steps are shown below. (Click

on each field to move it from the left side to the right. You

fields. |
