FIGURE 7.3

Use the Form Wizard to create a form with the fields you choose.

Add selected fields

Add all fields Remove all fields

Remove selected fields

The wizard is initially populated with fields from tblCustomers, but you can choose
another table or query with the Tables/Queries drop-down list above the field selection
area. Use the buttons in the middle of the form to add and remove fields to the Available
Fields and Selected Fields list boxes.

Note
You can also double-click any field in the Available Fields list box to add it to the Selected Fields list box.

The series of buttons at the bottom of the form let you navigate through the other steps of the wiz-

ard. The types of buttons available here are common to most wizard dialog boxes:

l Cancel: Cancel the wizard without creating a form.

l (^) Back: Return to the preceding step of the wizard.
l Next: Go to the next step of the wizard.
l (^) Finish: End the wizard using the current selections.
