jrbbldr proposed Garfieldhudson's videos in your previous question already: https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/29079479/i-want-to-make-exe-file-in-visualfoxpro9-prg-file-pl-help-me.html?anchorAnswerId=42443992#a42443992

Did you watch these videos? Did you try to create a form based on these videos? What exactly is unclear?

Optionally, you may try to use Visual FoxPro Form Wizard (available in menu Tools / Wizards). It will show simple UI where you can select all basic features of the form.  Use the Wizard just in the case the generated form fully fits to your needs. I would not recommend any manual updates in the generated form because the code is rather complex. Garfieldhudson's videos are much simpler to understand.

Personally I would recommend that you DO NOT USE  the Visual FoxPro Form Wizard to create your User Input Form.
Yes it might quickly give you a VFP Form to use, but you would end up not knowing anything about how it was made nor how it might work.

Go to the Free Garfield Hudson VFP Tutorials and learn how to make your form.

EDIT:   I notice that you say:
i have made input screen @ raw, column say command
The @ Row,Column Say/Get approach is the OLD non-Visual Foxpro approach.
I recommend that you Do Not use that, but instead use a true Visual Foxpro Form as shown in the Garfield Hudson videos.

Good Luck
This is the best money I have ever spent. I cannot not tell you how many times these folks have saved my bacon. I learn so much from the contributors.

It sounds as though you have not watched the Free, On-line GarfieldHudson VFP Tutorial Videos or if you have then you have not watched them all the way through.

Again I would however recommend that you DO NOT use a FORM WIZARD to build your Form.  
Doing it that way gives you a Form quickly, but it doesn't teach you anything about how it works and it also ends up with a lot of code that the WIZARD 'thinks' is needed, when it may only confuse things.    

Build your Form from 'Scratch'
CREATE FORM MyForm
< now add Form objects from the Form Designer tool bar >
< write code into the various Form object's Properties Methods as needed >

Open in new window

so that you can get it to do only what YOU want it to do and you can actually LEARN what is going on.

If you have created a VFP Form (by 'Scratch') and put a button on it, that's good, but what have you also put onto the Form for the user to input the data ('text1') ?

Then when your button is pushed its onClick method code needs to 'read' the text box value so that it can be used as the value to put into your table field.

Watch the all of the tutorial videos so that you can understand ALL of the parts.
