There are several ways to transfer data from a resulting Datasheet opened with Ms-Access VBA DoCmd.OpenTable to a Form. Here are some common methods:

1. Use a Query as the Form Record Source: Create a query that retrieves the same data as the opened table, and use it as the Record Source for the Form. This will display the data in the Form's controls, and any changes made in the Form will be reflected in the underlying table.

2. Use a List Box or Combo Box Control: Add a List Box or Combo Box control to the Form, and set its Row Source to the opened table. This will display the data in the control, and users can select a record to view or edit in the Form's controls.

3. Use a Recordset: Declare a Recordset object in the VBA code, and use it to loop through the data in the opened table. For each record, set the corresponding control value in the Form to the field value in the Recordset. This method gives you more control over the data manipulation and display, but requires more coding.

4. Use a Subform: If the opened table has a relationship with another table that is already displayed in the main Form as a subform, you can simply set the subform Record Source to the opened table. This will display the related data in the subform, and users can view or edit it in the context of the main record.
