                  Types of Forms

                  In Access, you can select from various types of forms to fit your needs by
                  using the More Forms command under the Create tab. The different
                  types of forms are:

                  •  Multiple Items: In this form, you will see multiple records at the same
                     time.
                  •  Datasheet: This form just looks like a regular datasheet, but it is actually
                     a form. It is useful when you want to show a datasheet on a sub-form.

                  •  Split Form: This form shows two sections. The upper section shows a datasheet view with a
                     list of records, while the lower section provides a detailed form for editing the selected record.
                  •  Modal Dialog: It is useful in creating navigation menus or alert messages. It looks like a
                     dialog box.
