A Microsoft® Access wizard is an add-in that can be integrated into the Access user interface. You can create a table, query, form, or report wizard, which appears in the list of options in the New Table, New Query, New Form, or New Report dialog box. For example, you can design a wizard to help users build complex queries, such as update queries.

In addition, you can create control wizards, which are launched when users create new controls on a form or report. Users can disable control wizards by toggling the state of the Control Wizards tool in the toolbox.

You can add a USysRegInfo table to a wizard database and use the Add-in Manager to install wizards. The registry subkeys you must create to register a wizard, however, are different from those you create to register an add-in.
