How to Create a Simple Data Entry in Access 2007

Access 2007 is the database component of the Microsoft Office 2007 suite. Use it to manage large volumes of data. When using Access, you can automate data entry by using forms. Forms provide a user-friendly interface for your end users. They don't need to understand how or why the form was created if the form is designed properly. The form provides an interface that lets the user press buttons to add data and navigate within the database.
