can simply enter data. In Design view, each

form object appears as a separate, editable

element. For example, in this view, you can

edit both the box that contains the data as well

as the label that identifies the data. In Layout

view, you can rearrange the form controls and

adjust their sizes directly on the form. Access

makes it easy to switch from Form view to

Design view to Layout view and back.
