In Form Design view, we know clicking the Properties button will display the properties for a selected object. Did you notice the combo box at the top of the Properties window?

 

 

This combo box lets you easily switch between all of the objects in a form. You can also manage the form itself by clicking the Form item in the combo box.

There are over 100 properties that can be modified in a form. The majority of the properties you can modify go beyond the scope of this manual, but Access offers many examples of different settings in its help file. Be it a table, form, query, or report property, when your cursor is inside a property box, press F1 on the keyboard to read details about that specific property and how it relates to the parent object.
