Default Access needs an insert table function to create forms.

Creating forms in Acces is difficult in comparison to creating a form in Word
that mail merges from Excel data. Access should have a function that allows
you to insert and modify a table like Word does. The user could then insert
the fields using Access in a similar manner to the mail merge in Word.

Creating forms in Access is very easy! You specify a recordsource for the
form, and then drag fields from that recordsource onto the form, where they
become text boxes bound to the field. You also have the option of dragging
text boxes (or other controls) onto the form, and then setting their
ControlSource property if you want them to be bound.
