▶ Form with fields (like Microsoft Word) PLUS:
– Rules apply specific actions when triggered by button clicks or changing values in the form. They can change the values of fields in the data source, submit to and query databases, display messages, open and close forms, and switch to different views of the form
i.e. Rules - Selecting one field choice, restricts/selects the choice of other fields
– Data Validation tests the validity of input into fields by comparing the input to patterns, checking for the correct data type (such as a string or an integer), and in other customizable ways
i.e. Data validation – only allows data to be entered that complies with correct value/format
