access - when creating your own form how do you save records

Not using a wizard when creating a form, how do you then save records, I have
an idea that it needs to be linked to a table but how do you set this up?

Data is linked to a table (or query) by the form's Record Source property.
If you've never worked with properties, right click the black square at the
top left in form Design view, then choose Properties. Or select View,
Properties from the menu. Record Source is the first property on the Data
tab.

Similarly, the field into which data entered into a form control is
determined by the control's Control Source property.
