    Form with a table used for data entry

    I want to create a form that allows the user to add data to a single table. I want to do it this way so that I can allow the user to add data in mass, without giving them access to the entire table. I want them to be able to enter data for only some of the fields on the actual table.



    For example, let's say I have a table with fields for product name, product number, order number, order date, order status and return date. I want the user to utilize this form to add a bunch of records to the table, but only fill out the first four fields. I imagine the form would have the table (with only a few columns) and a button to add the data from the form table, to the actual table.

    Any ideas?

    What you are asking for is database 101. Have you gone through any tutorials?

    What do you mean by this? Importing data?
