Form Design

Course Description

If you have ever input data into a poorly designed data entry form, you will understand the frustration that data entry clerks sometimes feel. In this class, you will learn many ways to improve data entry accuracy and efficiency. Careful attention to detail in form design will reduce errors and input time.

In addition to using forms to input and view data, you can also use a form to link multiple tables. By placing one or more subforms on a main form, you can input data into several tables at the same time.

If you apply what you learn in this class, you will enjoy an appreciative response from people who use your forms.
