Table or Form for fields

[Guest]

Is it more common practice to enter actual data through forms or through
tables?

In other words, is it more typical to make the table, set it up to hold the
data and then set up a form for the actual input into the table?

Thank you.

Table datasheets are not optimal for data entry or editing. They have
very limited capability compared to Forms.

Use tables in the background, as data repositories; use table
datasheets as a developer, for debugging; use Forms for routine
interaction with the data.
