I am new to access although proficient in excel. I created a form with
simple relationships using access 2003. I did not create a table however.
I was under the impression you could create the form first, and have the
fields from the form, be used as a table. I've tried creating a table with
fields which I assign to the control source in the form view. I've tried
assigning the recordsource.

Is there a way I can just use the Form I created to create the data table
to be used? Please help. I spent a lot of time creating the form, and it
looks nice. Now all I need to do, is figure out how to be able to enter
data into the fields and save them as records.
 
Nevermind, I think I got it.

However, is there anyway to be able to write more than 255 characters in a
text box. I need to be able to write a lengthy narrative in one of my form
fields. Is this possible?
 
A textbox control on a form does not have a character limit per se. You can
exceed the 255 character limit for a bound textbox if the field in the
underlying table is of Memo type.
