Whether you’re working with a table or query or relation, you can choose between three different on-screen views:
grid view - displays the table in a grid with rows and columns
form view - each record occupies the entire window for easy editing and allows for custom layout of the screen
report view - the data is arranged in a format suitable for printing, and also allows for a custom layout.
Grid view can be regarded as the natural way to view a table, since we usually think of tables as being arranged into rows and columns. Accordingly the term table will often be used to refer to a table when in it is in grid view. Nevertheless the table itself is distinct from any of the ways of viewing it.
