I think you need to focus on building the database structure. Use recommended naming for objects.
Use Invoices for table and also for form. You may use tblInvoices frmInvoices if you prefer.

To whom the invoice will be sent, it is not obvious from the table>
IDInvoice      InvoiceDate      InvoiceAmount      PaidAmount      Balance
1      5/4/2018      $0.00      $10,000.00      $0.00
2      5/5/2018      $0.00      $0.00      $0.00
3      5/8/2018      $0.00      $0.00      $0.00
4      5/7/2018      $0.00      $0.00      $0.00
5      5/10/2018      $0.00      $0.00      $0.00
6      5/11/2018      $0.00      $0.00      $0.00

Spend some time in building the right structure before building more objects with a weak structure.

Start with an invoice as it is printed on paper, then follow the normalization process for the database. (Search for database normalization).
This will help you in building the right relationships that will simplify data retrieval.
