You probably need to get a beginners book on Access. The
idea of using a form to interact with data in a table is a
very fundamental concept called bound forms. The table (or
a query) can be specified in the form's Record Source
Property (open the form's property sheet from the View
menu).

Many types of controls (most commonly text boxes) on a form
can be bound to a specific field in the form's record source
table/query. This is done by specifying the field name in
the control's Control Source property. This can be most
easily done by displaying the form's Field List window (View
menu) and dragging the field from the list to the form.

You may be able to at least get started by using a form
Wizard to initially create a form and letting it fill in
most of the details for you.
