    Forms and Reports

    Hi,


    Just wanted to ask what's best:
    Forms for tables
    Reports for queries
    OR
    Reports for tables
    Forms for queries

    Neither.

    While there is the occasional exception, Queries should generally be the conduit between Tables and Forms/Reports.

    Cheers,

    thanks, but it's just that a section of my task says i need to create a form for each table and report for each query, however when i do this, an undesired result comes up, eg
    The form for each table, only shows details about one row and not all
    The report however displays everything about the query, this is why i am confused.

    That is a function of the form, not the source.

    Forms may display data as:

    - a "Single Form" (one record at a time);
    - a "Continuous Form" (a scrolling form); or
    - a "Datasheet view" (much like a table).

    You'll find this option in the form design properties.

    Cheers,

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
