# Form Navigation Bar

The \<emph\>Form Navigation\</emph\> bar contains icons to edit a database table or to control the data view. The bar is displayed at the bottom of a document that contains fields that are linked to a database.

You can use the \<emph\>Form Navigation\</emph\> bar to move within records as well as to insert and to delete records. If data is saved in a form, the changes are transferred to the database. The \<emph\>Form Navigation\</emph\> bar also contains sort, filter, and search functions for data records.

You can use the Navigation bar icon on the More Controls bar to add a Navigation bar to a form.

The Navigation bar is only visible for forms connected to a database. In the Design view of a form, the Navigation bar is not available. See also Table Data bar.

You can control the view of data with the sorting and filtering functions. Original tables are not changed.

The current sort order or filter is saved with the current document. If a filter is set, the Apply Filter icon on the Navigation bar is activated. Sorting and filtering features in the document can also be configured in the Form Properties dialog. (Choose Form Properties - Data - properties Sort and Filter).

If an SQL statement is the basis for a form (see Form Properties - tab Data - Data Source), then the filter and sort functions are only available when the SQL statement refers to only one table and is not written in the native SQL mode.
