Define "linking [tables] together".
Define "access my form that's used in table1" (and by the way, forms offer
a way to see the data that's stored in tables, not vice versa).
A standard approach to using forms is to create a query against the table(s)
with the data and use that query as a source for the form.

Both tables have the exact same fields, table 1 is being researched for
company information data. I want to import table 1 into table 2. My thought
was that if I linked those 2 tables together that I would get the combined
tables. I'd rather import table 1 into table 2 if I can. From there I have
created a form that uses table 1, I'd like that same form to use table 2.
You mentioned an append quiery, I'm terrible with writing quieries. how
would I do that?

Ann,
Make a copy of your database in case something goes wrong. Double-click
table 1 to open it. Use Control +A to select all records. Use Control+C to
copy them to the clipboard. Open table 2. Go to Edit/Paste Append.

A quick check in Access HELP should give you the particulars.
In general, open a query in design view, select the fields from the table
you'll want to add (append). When the query is returning the records you
want to add (append), stop and make a backup copy of your database!
Then change the query type to an Append query from the default "Select"
query.
How you do that depends on which version of Access you are using...
