Community Tute 23 - Create the questionnaire form

1. Start Access and open the database we created in the last tute, select the 'Forms' tab and the then hit the 'New' button. If you did not compete the last tute you can download the database click here to download.


2. Create the questionnaire form, based on data in the baseline table.


3. Add all the fields to the form.


4. Create a new option group, make sure the wizard is switched on.


5. Set the label names from r1-r5, these will be equated to the response sets (or answers) to the questions that each field represents.


6. We don't want a default, if someone doesn't want to answer a question we should leave a blank or null value.


7. This dialogue box lets you modify the settings for each of the response values, leave the default values.


8. Store the response in the Q1 (Question1) field .


9. Modify the style of the buttons, choose 'Check boxes' and 'Etched'. Press the next key.


10. Set the label for the option group to Q1.


11. Your screen should now look like the image below.


12. Delete all the labels Q1 & r1-r5, add new text boxes across the top to prompt the user for input.


13. Use the align tool to align all the buttons to the same height on the page.


14. After a bit of playing around the form should look something like the image below.


15. Save the form as the 'Baseline Form'.


16. If you copy and paste the option groups like i did (so you don't have to go through the above process over and over again) you will need to re-set the control source for each of the option groups.


17. The final form view with some selections made, look at the values that the option group creates in the fields, 1=always, 2=mostly, 3=sometime, 4=little and 5= never.
