INTRODUCTION TO FORMS

Note:  The following screenshots are taken from the States application

Move to the FORMS tab.

Here you will see all the FORMS contained in our sample States’n’Counties database.  We have 3 to choose from.

Let’s select 'frmMain' and click OPEN.  When opening this form in 'Desktop Studio', you will be prompted if you want to 'debug'.  For now, let's answer NO.

So here we are, viewing our form.  Notice that at the top of the screen, we’re on record #1 of 58, and as we can see, record#1 contains the State ofALASKA.

We can move throughout our data by clicking the First, Last, Previous and Next buttons at the bottom.

We can also view all the counties for the chosen state.  Let’s click COUNTIES and see what happens.
