how to add a data control into a form in access ?

 

[Ron_dK]

Could you be somewhat more specific ? What data do you want to control on that form ?

 

[saleemMSMS]

a data control as in VB 6. to navigate regords and stuff like that

OK, open the form in design view and go to the property sheet.
You can set the following properties :

Record selectors
Navigaion buttons
Control box
Close button
etc

Just play around with these settings ( Yes or No ) and use those that you'll need.

What I think you are getting at is how to use a bound form. You need to set the recordsource to the form and use bound controls.

Access doesn't use the data control like in VB6. It has its own built-in data control (bind a table or query to the form, like David said, and you'll see.).

To bind a form to a table or query you to to the form's CONTROL SOURCE and select the appropriate one, or type in a valid SQL Select statement. Then you set each control's Control Source to the appropriate fields.
