Introduction
This plug-in focuses on the two functions of decision making using Access 2007:
creating forms and creating reports.
A form is nothing more than a graphical representation of a table.
You can add, update, and delete records in your table by using
a form.
Although a form can be named differently from its corresponding table,
they both still manipulate the same information and the same data.
Hence, if you
change a record in a form, it will be changed in the table as well.
A form is useful when you have numerous fields in a table.
It allows you to see all
the fields in one screen, whereas if you were in the table view (datasheet) you would
have to keep scrolling to get to the field you desire.
A report is an effective way to present your data in a printed format.
Because you
have control over the size and appearance of everything on a report, you can display the information the way you want to see it.
Forms
An Access form is a window, similar to a dialog box, that contains a set of controls
(such as labels, text boxes, and check boxes) to view, enter, or edit database information, typically one record at a time.
In a form, data are obtained directly from one or more tables or from data that
have been extracted using a query.
Although it is possible to directly enter and edit
the information in tables in Datasheet View, a database usually includes a set of
forms that can make entering and editing data considerably easier and can limit
the fields that can be viewed or modified.
