Here's an example of real Access programming code from the Access programmer team at MS Access Solutions.
Examining the Anatomy of a Form
Access forms are composed of a few different sections; each one has its own function and behavior. The three main sections of an Access form are
- Header
- Detail
- Footer
The Detail section of a form is the main section; it's the one used to display the data of the table or query underlying the form. As you will see, the Detail section can take on many different looks. It's quite flexible and robust.
The Header and Footer sections of the form are used to display information that doesn't change from record to record. You will often place command buttons that control the form — such as one used to let users view all the projects associated with a particular client — in a form's header or footer. Controls can also be used to help the user navigate around the records associated with the form. The user can select from a valid list of clients. After the user selects a client from the combo box, the user is moved to the appropriate record.
Creating a New Microsoft Access Form
You can create a new form in several ways. The most common way is to first use the Navigation Pane to select the table or query on which you want to base the form and then select the Form button in the Forms group on the Create tab. Access creates a form based on the table or query and places you in Layout view of that form.
There are several other methods that you can use to create a form. These methods include creating a split form, a multiple item form, a pivot chart, a blank form, a form using a Form Wizard a table. Before we look at the other methods of creating a form, let's find out how to create a form using the Form Wizard. Even the most experienced developers use the Form Wizard to perform certain tasks.
Creating a Form with the Form Wizard
To create a form with the Form Wizard, click to expand the More Forms drop-down in the Forms group on the Create tab. First, the Form Wizard prompts you for the name of the table or query you want to use as the form's foundation. Whether you're creating a form with the Form Wizard or from Design view, it's generally better to base a form on a query or on an embedded SQL statement (a query stored as part of a form). Doing so offers better performance (unless your form requires all fields and all records), allows for more flexibility, and lets you create a form based on data from several tables.If you were looking at an Access database you would see all the tables are listed, and if you scroll down, you would see that the tables are followed by all the queries. After you select a particular table or query, Access displays its fields in the list box on the left. To select the fields you want to include on the form, you double-click the name of the field or click on the field and then click the > button.
