It does not appear that you have done anything wrong except for
not entering the information in the fields of the form you created.
The form name is suppose to have (READ ONLY) after it. That indicates
that the form, itself, can not be edited (its background, placement
of the fields, the order of the fields, etc.). The fields within that
form will accept information. My advice is that you open the form and
click inside the first field. Then enter data in that field and use
the Tab or Enter key to advance to the next field. Continue to add
data to the fields until you have filled in all of the fields. Use
the Tab key to go to the next record. (The number in the bottom left
will go from 1 of 1 to 2 of 2.) The Save icon to the right of it will
go from active to grayed out when the number changes. Now, go back to
the main window of the database. Click on the Tables icon at the top
left. Then double click the table associated with the form you just
had open. It should show that data has been entered into it.
If this does not help, please create a simple database and send
it directly to me at the email address listed in From above.
