Work with Form Properties

Change the Form's Default View Property

One of the most important form properties is the Default View property, which determines how many records a form can display at once. Let's take a closer look at this property.

1. Click the Default View box in the Property Sheet.
2. Click the Default View list arrow and select a view option.

   You have several options:

   • Single Form: Displays one record at a time on a form.
   • Continuous Form: Displays multiple records on a form. The main difference between Datasheet and Continuous Forms is that a continuous form can be customized.
   • Datasheet: Displays multiple records in a table, using one line per record. Tables and queries display information in datasheets.
   • PivotTable: Dynamically analyzes information and summarizes it into a datasheet-like table.
   • PivotChart: Dynamically analyzes information and summarizes it into a chart.
   • Split Form: Displays a single record on a form and multiple records on a datasheet at the same time.
