Creating a Table

By creating a table, you design a place-holder for your data through defining fields and their data types.

  1. Select New Table from the Files menu or, while in the Tables view, click on the toolbar.

  2. Enter your table name when prompted and click OK.  The Table Design window appears.  

  3. For each field, enter a field name, select the appropriate data type from the list, and, if you wish, enter a field description.

  4. Select Save from the File menu or click Save on the toolbar when done.  Close the Table Design window.
     

Note: Table names and field names can only contain letters, numbers, underscores "_", and must start with a letter.

 

 

Using an underscore in your field names will automatically create a space in your labels.

Examples: Web_Inquiries, First_Name, Address_2
