Entering Data Using Forms
Data entering and editing is usually the task of the user of the database application. The designer of the database should check the form in terms of valid
data entry, and see whether the form works as expected.
To test your form, switch to its data view. A single database row (record)
of data will be displayed and a text cursor will be set inside the first
data field. You can move between fields using the &LMB; or the Tab and
ShiftTab
keys. While editing, there will be a
pencil icon visible near the record navigator. After entering the row's (record)
data you can press the
ShiftEnter
keys or click the
OK
toolbar button to accept changes made to the current row. Clicking the
Cancel
toolbar button discards changes made to the current row and restores the contents of
the data fields. You can use the
record navigator's button to move to a new row. All the navigator's functions are
also available in a similar way as in the data table view
.
