Question

write short note on different components of form in MS Access

Answer 1

A  form in Access is a database object that you can use to create a user interface for a database application. A "bound" form is one that is directly connected to a data source such as a table or query, and can be used to enter, edit, or display data from that data source. Alternatively, you can create an "unbound" form that does not link directly to a data source, but which still contains command buttons, labels, or other controls that you need to operate your application.

This article focuses primarily on bound forms. You can use bound forms to control access to data, such as which fields or rows of data are displayed. For example, certain users might need to see only several fields in a table with many fields. Providing those users with a form that contains only those fields makes it easier for them to use the database. You can also add command buttons and other features to a form to automate frequently performed actions.

Think of bound forms as windows through which people see and reach your database. An effective form speeds the use of your database, because people don't have to search for what they need. A visually attractive form makes working with the database more pleasant and more efficient, and it can also help prevent incorrect data from being entered.

Note: This article assumes you have already created a table (or a query based on one or more tables), and that you want to build a form to view or manipulate the data.

Answer 2

MS Access has different components such as tables, relationships, queries, forms, reports, macros, and modules.  

MS Access is the part of Microsoft Office Suite and Access has an .mdb extension by default.

On the other part, MS Word has .doc extension by default. You cannot find the accdb extension in early version of MS access. But MS Access 2007 can read and change the earlier version of MS Access.
