You can add controls to a form by using the control palette.
The control palette provides a visual cue as to the type of control
you are adding.
Before you begin
If the control palette is not visible
when you open the form, click the arrow to the right of the form to
expand the Palette window.
Procedure
To add a control to a form with the control palette:
- In the control palette, click the control to add.
- Move your cursor to the form and click and drag until the
control reaches the desired size.
After the control
is on the form, the cursor changes to the selection arrow so that
you can move and size the control.
- Double-click the control to open its property sheet and
select the field to associate with the control.
What to do next
You can also set the display options of the control. For
