They can be transmitted by network or email
Internet-based forms are filled out on a web browser Data is stored in a database

Understanding Form Fields Fields are made up of controls Controls determine the type and style of data entry Three types of controls:
Content Legacy (for use with older Word versions) ActiveX for web page forms and documents
Forms can be protected to keep others from changing them
