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.

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.
