Modifying Data
Earlier, this chapter defined a good database access form as one that separates navigation and display of data from update of data. Separating the two functions into different modes makes clear to the user what’s going on and helps prevent unintended changes. This statement isn’t necessarily true in all cases. In some cases, you may want to use the display form as your update form.
This section describes two techniques for changing data: one that uses the main form as the display form and one that uses a separate dialog box as the update form.
Both techniques use the database access form and the Update button as shown in Figure 8–9.
