What are access forms?

A form is a database object that you can use to enter, edit, or display data from a table or a query. You can use forms to control access to data, such as which fields of data are displayed.

IMPORTANCE OF FORMS

- Form objects serve several important roles in the database. First, forms will create the main user interface for your database and allow you to set up navigation systems and group tasks in ways that make sense for your organization, forms provide a blank canvas for you to populate with lots of objects in order to manipulate the data and functionality of the database. You'll do this by adding references to table fields and records and other control objects such as buttons that are attached to macros or Visual Basic routines in order to provide interactivity and trigger pre-scripted events.


You can also create a unique experience for the users of your database by adding images and using font and color schemes that are pleasing to work with and that support your organization's brand. Finally, you can add additional interactive controls to your data such as toggle buttons and dropdown combo boxes and charts. Primarily, forms will be used to interact with your data.

What are the advantages of using forms in Access?

Forms in Microsoft Access provide a quick and efficient way to modify and insert records into your databases. The forms provide an intuitive, graphical environment that is easily navigated by anyone familiar with standard computer techniques. Forms also allow users a method of navigating through the system

Why is form design important? The design of your forms will impact the overall user experience, If a user gets frustrated with your form or it's not clear what they need to do, you risk the chance of them leaving your site or abandoning their order.

- It's easy to see how viewing or entering many records this way could become a difficult and tedious task. As you can see, this record is much easier to understand when viewed in a form. Modifying the record also would be easier because you wouldn't have to know any ID numbers to enter new data.
