RE: forms

Hi Kirsten

The information in a form can be divided into sections. Each section has a specific purpose and prints in a predictable order in the form. All forms have a detail section but a form can also include form header, page header and footer sections

PAGE HEADER:
Used to display a title, column headings, dates, or page numbers at the top of every page in a form or report. In a form, the page header appears only when you print the form.

FORM HEADER:
displays information that remains the same for every record, such as a title for the form. A form header appears at the top of the screen in Form view and at the top of the first page when printed.

Does that answer your question?

If you have any further questions, please post them to the forum.

Access tip:

Choosing data types in Access

Not sure which data type to use for your Access fields? Here are some guidelines to help you choose a data type to assign to a field.

- The Text data type can accept up to 255 characters. For information that will be recorded in paragraphs, use Memo.

- Also use Text for numbers that aren't going to be used in calculations, e.g. phone numbers.

- Use the Currency data type for monetary amounts.

- Use Date/Time for dates.

- Most other numbers can use the Number data type, but the Field Size property may have to be altered.

- For fields that have only two alternatives (yes, no) use Yes/No data type. If there is likely to be a third entry option (e.g. maybe or don't know) use Text instead.
