How do I change from datasheet view to form view

When entering in data my screen is in "Datasheet view" put we need it in
table view. When we click on "View" the option to change to table view is not
there.

Hello,

Are you entering date into a datasheet through the "table" menu?

What do you mean by "table view"? If it is a form, then you will have to
create one.

Don't confuse data STORAGE with data PRESENTATION. They are two
different features.

Data is stored in tables (whether it's entered from a single form,
continuous form, datasheet-view form or directly from the table
datasheet). The view has NO effect on what's actually stored; once you
have data in a table, you can view it any way you like - just base a
Form (for onscreen viewing) or Report (for printing) on the table.

Note that tables are *not* designed for data presentation, and have
very limited capabilities in that line. It's best to design a custom
Form or Report instead.
