hi,

as a previous user of Access, i was wondering if SQL Server provided any means of creating a Form through which I can enter in data to be stored in a table?

cheers,

You can do this via Enterprise Manager if this is just to enter data by you. If however you want to create an application, then you can use almost any programming language that can use a data provider of SQL Server. I'd recommend VB.NET or C#.

You can also create linked tables in an Access database that connect to your SQL Server. Access even provides Data Projects specifically for this purpose.

You can't. If you want to enter data, you can right click on a table, open table, return all rows. You can then enter data into that screen. When I said you could do it in EM, I meant enter data.

Use Query Analyser to enter data
If you try to enter data thru EM, you will get error if there are duplicates

If you want a simple way to create forms, use Access. If you want something more robust, use .NET. You can go to ASP.NET and get starter kits, tutorials, and lots of great articles that should get you started quickly.
