Step 5: Arrange controls.

Each control in a form consists of two

parts: label and field. This step in creating

the form determines where a control’s

label and field are placed in relationship

with each other. The four choices from

left to right are Columnar left, Columnar -

Labels on top, As Data Sheet, and In

Blocks - Labels Above.

1) Arrangement of the main form:

Click the second icon (Columnar -

Labels on top). The labels will be

placed above their field.

2) Arrangement of the subform: Click

the third icon (As Data Sheet). (The

labels are column headings and the

field entries are in spreadsheet

format.) Click Next.

Step 6: Set data entry.

Unless you have a need for any of these entries to be checked, accept the default

settings. Click Next.

Step 7: Apply styles.

1) Select the color you want in the Apply Styles list. (I chose the beige which is

Orange 4 in the Color table.)

2) Select the Field border you want. (I prefer the 3-D look. You might want to

experiment with the different possible settings.)

3) Click Next.

Step 8: Set name.

1) Enter the name for the form. In this case, it is Fuel.

2) Click Modify the form.

3) Click Finish. The form opens in Edit mode.

Modifying a form

We will be moving the controls to different places in the form and changing the

background to a picture. We will also modify the label for the PaymentType field as

well as change the field to a list box.

First, we must decide what we want to change. The discussion will follow this ten

step outline of our planned changes.

1) Provide a dropdown capability for the Date field in the main form, and

lengthen the field to show the day of the week, month, day, and year.

2) Shorten the length of the payment fields (all fields containing the word

Payment).

3) Move the controls into groups: food, fuel subform, and miscellaneous.
