A form is an alternative view of a database table. In a form, the data is displayed one record at a time in whatever layout you want. It is often easier to add and edit records in a form than it is using the table grid view.
There are two processes in forms - creating forms and using forms - and so it has two modes of operation: design mode and browse mode.
Design mode is used to create the page layout and to create and position fields. The operation of a form in design mode is similar to Draw.
Browse mode is used for working with the data – you can view and edit records, create filters to select subsets of records, hide and show fields, rearrange the order of fields, apply sort orders and print records, just as you can in table grid view.
Any changes you make in a form are reflected in the underlying table.
The form can be created either by opening a standard auto form, or else by creating and designing the form yourself.
