Adding Form Records
Opening forms in the Contact Management database
Forms can be opened several ways in the Contact Management database. When the Contact Management database is first opened, a main switchboard of menu items is automatically displayed. A form can also be displayed by opening it from the Forms object.
If a table has been defined to a database, it does not matter whether records are inputted into the table using the Datasheet view discussed in lesson 7 or through a data entry form presented in this lesson. Both methods update the same table.
To open a form from the Forms object:
- Open the Contact Management database.
- In the database window, click on the Forms tab from the Objects palette.
- In the right white pane, double-click the Contacts form.
You can also either click once on the Contacts form and then click the Open button or right-click the Contacts form and select Open from the shortcut menu.
