Form Properties

Whenever you change a form, you need to go back to the Form View and test it. Tab through your form. Does it go in a logical pattern, now?

 

What happens when you cycle through all of your fields? Does it advance to the next record? This can be very confusing. Some users may think that their data is lost and enter the record again.

 

Try it: Find the Form Properties

Double click the Form Selector

The Form Selector is the top left square of your form when it is in Design View

 

The Property sheet will open.
