Forms

Hello Joanne,

Hope you enjoyed your Microsoft Access course with BEST Training.
Thank you for your question regarding forms and fields.

Make sure that your form is big enough to contain all your fields. You can do this manually or automatically. Manually - simply make the grey background bigger by dragging the right bottom corner.

Automatic - Depending on how big your fields are (eg - some may be only a few characters (phone number), whilst some may be much longer (address, or notes field)), you could use the columnar layout on the Form wizard. This will layout all your fields as best as it can, and then I recommend you dragging them using the mouse to fit your needs.

A good technicque when you are in the DESIGN VIEW of a form, is to select the field that you want to move, and then use the keybaord arrows to nudge it. You can use this in conjunction with the mouse for smaller shifts.

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.
Regards,

Richard
