                 Types of Forms

                 You can select the type of form needed by clicking on the More Forms
                 command in the  Forms group under the  Create tab. The different
                 types of basic forms in Access 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 parts. The upper part shows the datasheet, and the lower
                   part shows a form for entering information about the record selected in the datasheet.

                 •  Modal Dialog: It is useful in creating navigational menu systems. It looks like a dialog box.
                 Viewing the Records


                 You can observe the navigation bar at the bottom                             Blank
                                                                             First Previous
                 of  the  Form window.  The  navigation  bar  helps in
                 scrolling between the records. It also displays the
                 location of the selected record in the table as well as               Next  Last            Search
                 the total number of records in the table. The First record and Last record buttons help to quickly
                 move to the first and last records in the table, respectively.
                 You can also search for a particular record in the table by entering the keywords in the Search
                 text box.

                 Formatting a Form

                 You can change the appearance of the form by using the various options available on the Design
                 and Format tabs.
