A form is a database object that provides a convenient way to enter and edit data. A report is a database object that allows you to organize, summarize, and print all or a portion of the data in a database. You can create a report based on a table or query. A query is a database object that enables you to locate multiple records matching specified criteria. It provides a way for you to ask a question about the information stored in one or more database tables.
