Making forms more attractive

Because other people will be using the forms in your database to enter data, you may want to make the forms more visually appealing. These types of changes are done to the form in Layout View.

In Layout View, you see the form as it will appear to the user in Form View, so it is useful for setting the size of controls and other objects on the form, as well as for changing the font, colors, and borders on the form.

To switch to Layout View

There are three different ways to open the form in Layout View:

  • Right-click on the Form tab or on the form name in the object list. Then, select Layout View from the list.
  • Select Layout View in the Views group on the Ribbon.
  • Click on the Layout View icon in the bottom-right corner of the Access 2007 window.
