I am reaching the point in my Access development where I want to know how to
build forms off of SQL, rather than doing an Autoform from a query. Can
anyone recommend an online resources for how to do this?

You can easily use the Forms window without wizards. I'd suggest creating a
new Query using your SQL string, and save the query; you can then create a new
Form, and select that query as its record source. You can then use the Toolbox
and the list-of-fields tool to add controls to the form, bound to the query
fields.
