This follows a similar pattern to the Parameter form. Using the table in Chapter 2, Data Structures, we know we should use Simple list or Simple list and Details - List Grid patterns.

2. Select User Interface from the left-hand pane and Form from the right-hand pane.
3. Name the form as per the table's name; in this case, ConWHSVehicleGroup.
4. Drag the ConWHSVehicleGroup table from the project onto the Data Sources node of the form designer.

6. Set the Title Data Source and Data Sources properties to the table name, ConWHSVehicleGroup.
7. Apply the Simple List pattern to Design (right-click and choose Apply Pattern | Simple List).
