A form is created and opens in Layout View.

Different Views

Form View – This view allows you to view, create and edit records.

Layout View – This view is similar to Design View but is more visually-oriented in that each
control displays real data. As a result, this is a very useful view for setting the size of controls,

or performing many other tasks that affect the visual appearance and usability of the form.

Design View – This view gives you a more detailed view of the structure of the form. You can

see the header, detail and footer sections for the form. You cannot see the underlying data
while you are making design changes.
