  4. Create a button.
  5. Go to the design tab.
  6. Click on xxxx, the item next to Aa.
  7. Drag it where you want the button to be positioned.

  9. Under the categories list, select form operations.
  10. Under the actions list, choose open form.

  17. Click the ‘next‘ button.

You can add other types of button into your form:

  • A button that can delete or add records.
  • A button that can show records one after the other and vice versa.
  • A button that can close the form.
