Automatic Form/Table creation
Why does Access add a table to my form when I use the AutoForm option?

RE: Automatic Form/Table creation
Answer to the question:
Access will analyse the table before an AutoForm is created, if there are relationships in place; where your table is the 'one' side of a 'one to many' relationship, then Access will include the secondary table as a sub-form, this will enable you to view the main table records 'one side' and also scroll through any of the 'many side' records on the sub-form.
If you wish to create a Form from your secondary table and use that rather than the default secondary table, you must insert the sub-form manually in the main Form's design view.
Sub-Forms are covered in detail on the Access Advanced course.
