Making Forms More Usable with Controls

Challenge!

If you haven't already done so, save the sample Ready2Read database on your own computer.

  • Open the Orders Form, and change the form properties so it limits the user to adding records only.
  • Hide the Order ID and Order Date fields.
  • Set the Order Date field property to have a Default Value of the current date.
  • Create drop-down lists for the Customer ID and Book ID fields, making sure they contain helpful information for users and correctly populate the database with the ID numbers.
  • Add a command button to the form.
