Creating an form

A window with the new blank form will appear, and many of the buttons on the Forms Toolbar will become active.

Press the 'Edit Form Properties' button to display a window of properties for the current form.

In this window, enter information about the form, and database files it interacts with. The following properties can be edited...

Press the 'OK' button to close this window and save changes to the form's properties or 'Cancel' to exit without saving changes.
