Designing basic forms for data entry into your solution
Learn how to design smarter forms that keep your data clean and usable.
In this Data Survival Skills session, Robin demonstrates how to build forms in Microsoft Access that guide data entry and protect against errors. Starting with an events database, you’ll see how to create forms that connect volunteers, events, and partners—even when no formal relationships are set in the database. By adding features like combo boxes, Robin shows how to turn raw fields into dropdowns that enforce consistency and prevent invalid entries. Along the way, you’ll learn why testing each form is critical, how to design with the end-user in mind, and how thoughtful form design adds integrity to your system. The result? Data that’s more accurate, easier to enter, and ready to support reliable analysis.
