Can anyone steer me in the right direction here as to how I go about creating a form in access based on more than one table.

if the db is relational try creating an SQL statement, then have the form linked to the new statement.

You need to have some matching item between the two tables - a unique ID is best, but you can use other things, as long as they are unique. Then make a query based on the two tables linked by the ID or whatever. In the query, have all the fields you need from the two tables - if that means everything, that is fine.
Then make the query the record source for your form.
