After you've created or opened the database that contains the table you want to modify, click the Tables option in the Objects bar in the database window. |
Click the table you want to open to select it. |
Click the Design button in the database window's toolbar. |
The table is open in Design view, enabling you to make changes to the database structure. |
INTRODUCTIONIf you create a table using a wizard, you may find that you need to customize the fields it contains?adding new fields, removing fields, or modifying the properties of a particular field (such as its size). Even if you create a table from scratch, you may later find that you need to modify it in some way. Before you can modify a table, you must open that table in Design view. (Design view contrasts with Datasheet view, which you use to enter data.) |
TIPEntering Data To open a table in Datasheet view, double-click the table name in the database window or click the table to select it and then click the Open button in the database window's toolbar. See Part 3 for more information about entering data. |
