Using Wizard

Trying to use Form Wizard. When I click on the 'Form Wizard', bottom
selection asks to select a table or query from which to get the data. How do
I get 'data' generated for the wizard to use?

Also, should MSSQLServer be running on my computer?

Thanks

well, the purpose of a relational database is to store and "manage" data.
have you built normalized, related tables to house your data? if not, you're
starting in the middle - forget about forms until you've analyzed your
process and built the table/relationship structure to support it. for more
information, see http://home.att.net/~california.db/tips.html, starting with
Tips 1 and 2 in that order.

Thanks for the direction, Tina, will have a look. You're exactly right about
'starting in the middle'. Couldn't find a place to build the table. 7 or 8
years ago I was quite proficient in FilemakerPro, but haven't touched data
bases since. Trying to get up to speed on access for a particular
application.
