How to create a web form like MS access form using asp.net??

Hi!
I am trying to create data entry forms like MS access forms using asp.net.
I am talking about a form like MS access forms which let you enter a new
record, edit, navigate to previous and next record and display one record at
a time.
I am accessing the database. Right now it is MS access but will move it to
the SQL sever.
I am not too sure how to design the web form to accomplish this task.
I can do insert, update(edit) and display the records in datagrid style.
The records are displayed in the table format(datagrid ).

How can I change it so that it can display one record at a time in
customized format like the form in MS access instead of datagrid, all table
format??

Hopefully I managed to explain what I want is the form with customized style
format unlike the datagrid(table format)??

Do I use the repeater control to accomplish this??

Can you show me very simple code or tutorial site which does this??
I have seen a lot of examples of datagrid data entry forms but that is not
what I want.
Say I am trying to create data entry form for the Contact Infomation.

TblContact
ContactID
LastName
FirstName
PhoneNum

and i want a form to enter those info and be able to enter a new record,
edit and navigate to the different records.

*************** *************** ****
*****Contact Information**** ***********
*************** *************** ****
** Contact ID: **** 12 *****
*************** *************** ****
*Last Name: ** Smith *****
*************** *************** ****
*First Name:** John *****
*************** *************** ****
*Phone Number: ** 443-999-8877 ***
*************** *************** ****
** << Previous**Next> >****[Add a New ]*
*************** *************** ****
Thank you so much in advance.

How do I create a data input form in Access that is external to the Access database to which it's connected (if that's possible, which I believe it is)? For example, if someone clicks on an Access file icon on a computer desktop, it will open up a data entry form (that was created in Access). That way, the people who enter the data won't have direct access to the database at any point. I've seen that this can be done, but I don't know...

I've seen plenty of articles on this topic but none of them have been able to solve my problem. I am working with an Access 97 database on an NT4.0 machine, which has many Access reports. I want my users to be able to select a report, click on a command button on a form, which will then automatically create the report as a pdf file and save it to the user's machine.

Hi, I'm fairly new to .Net, but an expert in Microsoft Access VBA. For a large Access application, I want to create some sort of custom control (COM interop?) in VB.Net, to be used in an Access form. The control needs to put together a simple design drawing for building constructors, based on some values in the Access form. Can it be done?

I'm an experienced Access/VBA programmer, trying to become competent using VB.net. Using base vb.net it seems to me to be an AWFUL amount of work to create data-entry forms similar to what one could create in Access in 20 minutes (eg. a form with datasheet/form-view options, filter fields, etc., etc.). Surely there is an easier way?! What do most 'real-life' programmers do
