    Make Run Query to open a Form instead of a list


    How can I make the Run Query button open up a Form instead of the usual list they open... I am still a beginner so my access vocabulary is quite limited

    The Run Query button from the ribbon does only that - runs a query.

    Bind a form to a SELECT query and open the form.

    Building bound (setting the form RecordSource property) forms is basic Access functionality. Refer to Access Help or Google. There are many introductory tutorials. Or get an introductory book.
