Use Your Form
Creating Forms in Microsoft Access 2010 Mike Chapple
You've put a lot of time and energy into making your form match your needs. Now it's time for your reward! Let's explore using your form.

To use your form, you first need to switch into Form View. Click the drop-down arrow on the Views section of the Ribbon. Select Form View and you'll be ready to use your form!

Once you're in Form View, you can navigate through the records in your table by using the Record arrow icons at the bottom of the screen or entering a number into the "1 of x" textbox. You can edit data as you view it, if you like. You can also create a new record by either clicking the icon at the bottom of the screen with a triangle and star or simply using the next record icon to navigate past the last record in the table.

Congratulations on creating your first Microsoft Access form!
