Very newbie: how to put data in form? Access 07

Hi guys, I'm a reasonably confident Excel user but wondered if there
is a better option for inputting, compiling then analysing and
presenting the results of a marketing and satisfaction survey I am
undertaking for a client.

I have had a brief look at Access but am very new to it. So far I have
built a form, complete with yes/no options and look up lists, but
can't figure out how to save it in a format where I can input the
data.

Having created a form, how do you actually enter data?

Thanks in advance for anyone who has the patience to help this
newbie ...

By "enter data", I'm presuming that you mean to get data into a table.
There are many ways to accomplish that.

Is your form bound to a table? If it is, it's common to permit the
user to simply navigate to a new record and begin entering data.

You're likely to need to paint a bit clearer picture of what you are
trying to achieve before others can help much.
