There is no definitive answer to that, as it depends what you want on the form. Ultimately all data comes from tables. If you just want to show all the records as they are you could base the form on the table. However if you want to display only selected records or certain calculations, you might create a query to do those operations and then base the form on the query.

The easiest way to do this, assuming you have a fixed tax rate, is to simple create a calculated field in a query.Let's say you have a table with Price, Quantity, and TaxRate in it. Create a query based on that table, and bring these three fields into the query.Now create a new, calculated query in a new column. In the first row (the name) of the query, put the following:SalesTax: (Price * Quantity) * TaxRateWhen you run the query, you should see SalesTaxt as a new, calculated field. Now you can use this query for any forms or reports you need this value in.Hope this helps.Richard Rostwww.AccessLearningZone.com
