    Forms & Subforms

    Hi, i am designing a database for college and i'm not asking anybody to do my homework here.



    I know how to make normal forms and i could easily learn how to make subforms. However, if i make forms for all my tables, do i need subforms? If i make normal forms for all my tables do i then add subforms to THEM forms or make them seperately? I don't understand how you would go about using them?

    Should i have 4 normal forms for my tables or 4 subforms instead? Not exactly sure coud somebody direct me in the right direction. PLEASE

    Thanks

    What is your database about?
    What is the business your database is intended to support?
    What is the purpose of your Form(s) and/or subform(s)? Who will use them? For what exactly?

    In Access the Form/subform construct is often associated with tables that are relate in 1 to Many relationship.

    Hairdressing business.

    Tables: Client, Appointment, Stylist and Treatment.

    I have a main menu form with those four buttons.

    I was going to make four normal forms but not sure if the subforms would be necessary. I have never used subforms before so not sure if they would be needed.

    And they are one to many relationships.

    Thanks
