Windows Forms in Access

[Douglas J Steele]

Depends on your point of view.

Access is a development environment that lets you create forms, reports,
macros and modules. It uses VBA, and nothing else.

However, many other applications (such as VB, VC++, Delphi, VB.Net, VC#,
etc.) are capable of querying the data from a Jet database (i.e.: an MDB
file)

Hi,

I am new to this...

How do I generate window forms in access, so that the users can use
it to input/modify the data in the table or database . Basically I
want a winform with button on it and when button is click it will
generate another winform. And is VB the only language I can use to do
this?

Do you really want to use Winforms, as opposed to Access forms? They're
very different animals. If you're using Access -- as opposed to just
using the .mdb file and Jet database engine to store your data -- then
Access forms are much more powerful and easier to use. If you're using
some other development tool, such as Visual Basic or C++ or one of the
..Net languages, then you only have Winforms available (not counting web
forms), but you have to do most of the database wiring yourself. For
that, you'd do better to ask your question in one of the newsgroups
devoted to the programming environment you're using.

You are not new to computer?

Obviously not since you know how to change the computer clock within 3
minutes ...

Please use correct date/time when you post.
