Creating Form in Design View

Creating Form in Design View

To create a form from scratch without the wizard, follow these steps:

1. Click the New button on the form database window.

2. Select "Design View" and choose the table or query the form will be associated with the form from the drop-down menu.

3. Select View|Toolbox from the menu bar to view the floating toolbar with additional options.

Add controls to the form by clicking and dragging the field names from the Field List floating window. Access creates a text box for the value and label for the field name when this action is accomplished. To add controls for all of the fields in the Field List, double-click the Field List window's title bar and drag all of the highlighted fields to the form.
