OK that is good to know.  I just added a form where would I go to run it?
Simply double-click the form to open it in "Form View".

If you're in form design mode, then from the Design tab on the ribbon, select View -> Form View.
If you want the form to open automatically when the database opens -

A2010 instructions (A2013 will be similar)
File
-- Options
-----Current Database
-----------"Display Form:" -- choose form from dropdown.

Save and close.  When you open the database the next time, the selected form will open.  Typically, we use a switchboard or menu form as our opening form and that form leads to all other forms.
