Inputting info. onto report

[craigcain]

Hello,

I am creating a database for a user that has a health & safety report form on paper that he would like replicated on screen on a form that he could fill in. Is there a way to do this? If not any ideas of which way to go from here would be much appeciated.

Thanks in advance for any help

one method I have seen involves taking a picture of the "paper" form, and using the picture as a background on your MS access form. Then all you do is create text boxes over the particular entry sections of the "paper" form.

Thanks for the reply. Seems like a good way to do it

video help with Access here.

Some Helpful video presentations I reported on earlier here.

This is where I saw The video relating to your problem on the same site. This example adds a "paper form" "as a picture" to a report

I also provide some video help on using MS Access on my website here:
