Microsoft Access Tutorial - Prof. Creating and Running a Data Entry Form Data entry forms are the primary means of entering data into tables in the database. In a previous section, we described how to add data to a table using a spreadsheet-like view of the data. Data entry forms offer a more user-friendly interface by adding labels for each field and other helpful information.
Access provides several different ways of creating data entry forms.
These include creating the forms by hand using a Design View as well as a number of wizards that walk the user through the forms creation process. In this section, we cover the basic steps for using a wizard to create a data entry form. In this example, we will create a simple data entry form for the Customer table. To begin the process, click on the Forms tab on the Access main screen. As with the other components in Access, there are buttons for creating a New form, Open an existing form and Design an existing form.
