Foil 16 Access Forms and Reports

From Overview of Microsoft Access used with Active Server Pages(ASP) CPS616 Technologies of Information Age -- Spring 1998. by Nancy McCracken and Sangetta Aggarwal


Beyond the tabular vision, for consultation and editing of data, there is a form editor and a form interpreter that allows the generation and management of specific input/output data interfaces (forms).
The usage of forms allows the visualization in a single window interface of data belonging to different tables and query results.
In Access, program code and a form (or report) is stored in a neat package. Each form and report can carry its own module with it. The event procedures are subroutines and their scope, by default, is private to the form.
Reports are information organized and formatted to fit the user's specifications. They provide a way to retrieve and present data as meaningful information. Examples are mailing labels, invoices, sale summaries, phone lists etc.
