Pleasant GUI

[endri81]

Hi.
I am creating a GUI from a paper form which contains a lot of data to be filled.Can you advice me any way of presenting all this in a pleasant form?
I know is a very general question but it is creating me a lot of headache to pass from paper form to access..

use a tab control, probably

but note that the paper form will not match a relational database - and therefore the best idea may not be to replicate the paper form exactly

I can relate, though your situation is probably different. I changed a 15-page membership application form into a 7-page PDF form, intended to be distributed to applicants.

Really I could use more information here - is the form something that gets distributed to customers or members? Is this an attempt to completely eliminate the paper step? Do you have an existing system that this needs to work alongside with?
