Can anyone tell if its possible to make changes to a Table in a database
from a Form in a different database?
If so can you give me an example?

Thanks in advance

A Form can only be used in the database which contains it.

The Table can be in another database though; in fact it's routine to
have Forms in a "frontend" database and all of the data tables in a
shared "backend". Use File... Get External Data... Link to create a
link to the table in the remote database; or use the Database Splitter
Wizard to split your application into a front and back end.
