A form is an object you use to enter, edit, and view records in a database
You can design your own forms or have Access create them for you automatically

You might need to modify its design in Layout view to improve its appearance or to make the form easier to use
In Layout view, you see the form as it appears in Form view, but you can still modify the form’s design
In Form view, you cannot make any design changes
Layout view makes it easy for you to see the results of any design changes you make
You can continue to make changes, undo modifications, and rework the design in Layout view to achieve the look you want for the form

Applying a Theme to a Form
By default, a forms use the Office theme, which determines the color and font used on the form
Access provides many built-in theme
Makes it easy to create objects with a unified look
You can also create a customized theme if none of the built-in themes suit your needs
Adding a Picture to a Form
A picture is one of many controls you can add and modify on a form
A control is an item on a form, report, or other database object that you can manipulate to modify the object’s appearance

To view, navigate, and change data using a form, you need to display the form in Form view
Navigate a form in the same way that you navigate a table datasheet
The navigation mode and editing mode keyboard shortcuts you used with datasheets in Module 3 are the same when navigating a form

The Find command lets you search for data in a datasheet so you can display only those records you want to view
You can also use the Find command to search for data in a form
You choose a field to serve as the basis for the search by making that field the current field, and then you enter the value you want Access to match in the Find and Replace dialog box

Maintaining data using a form is often easier than using a datasheet because you can focus on all the changes for a single record at one time
In Form view, you can edit the field values for a record, delete a record from the underlying table, or add a new record

Access prints as many form records as can fit on a printed page
If only part of a form record fits on the bottom of a page, the remainder of the record prints on the next page
Access allows you to print all pages or a range of pages. In addition, you can print the currently selected form record

To create a form based on two tables, you must first define a relationship between the two tables
When you create a form containing data from two tables that have a one-to-many relationship, you actually create a main form for data from the primary table and a subform for data from the related table
Access uses the defined relationship between the tables to join them automatically through the common field that exists in both tables

A report is a formatted printout or screen display of the contents of one or more tables or queries in a database
In Access, you can create your own reports or use the Report Wizard to create them for you
You can always change a report’s design after you create it

Applying a Theme to a Report
The same themes available for forms are also available for reports
You can choose to apply a theme to the current report object only, or to all reports in the database
Changing the Alignment of Field Values
The FORMAT tab in Layout view, one of the REPORT LAYOUT TOOLS contextual tabs, provides options for you to easily modify the format of various report objects

Conditional formatting in a report (or form) is special formatting applied to certain field values depending on one or more conditions—similar to criteria you establish for queries
If a field value meets the condition or conditions you specify, the formatting is applied to the value
