________________________________________
1. In the Design View as shown in Figure 4-26, you can see the table you
used as a data source for your form pointed by label 1. If you want, you
can move fields on your form simply by dragging and dropping on the
form.
2. As shown in Figure 4-26 with label 2 (Figure 4-29), this is the From
Header. If you want you can expand this area simply by dragging the top
border of ‘Detail’ down.
Click on the header area and then from menu bar click ‘Insert’ and then
‘Date and Time’. Now the header of our form will look as follows.

________________________________________
Once you go back to run-time view of your form, you will see the date and time showing at the top of the form. Try entering data through your form and then access your data directly from the table and verify whether the data entry happened or not. Using MS Access forms you can also do the data entry or update operation on Oracle tables.
