There are several
different controls you can use to add a little extra variety to your
forms. In our
Microsoft Access 203 course we cover option groups,
list boxes, and toggle buttons. These are three more
controls that give you different ways to let users select options.
Option Groups force users to
select one of the listed options (like male, female, or
unspecified). Toggle Buttons let you select one or more
options. Here we have listed different "customer types" such as
hardware, software, service, etc. The customer can be of any type
(or multiple types). There are also List Boxes that can be
configured for both single-item or multi-item options (corporate,
educational, government, etc).
Of course, we'll teach you how to use
all of these different controls throughout our Access courses. There
are many other controls available as well to "spice up" your forms -
such as the Tab control shown in the image above. Making your forms
look good is a step towards making them easier to use - and that
will improve productivity. |
