13. Steps to Create Blank Database 1.Start Access.

14. 2.Click the “Blank desktop database” template. 3. Type a file name for the database you’re about to create.

15. 4.Choose the folder where you want to store your database. 5.Click the big Create button (under the File Name box).

A fitness database could track your daily running log, your inventory of exercise equipment, and the number of high-protein whey milkshakes you down each day, as three separate tables.

17. Customize the Table in Two ways- Design view lets you precisely define all aspects of a table before you start using it. Almost all database pros prefer Design view. Datasheet view is where you enter data into a table. Datasheet view also lets you build a table on the fly as you insert new information.

18. Steps To Create Simple Table- 1.To define your table, simply add your first record. 2.In the datasheet’s rightmost column, under the “Click to Add” heading, type the first piece of information for the record

19. 3. Press Tab to move to the next field, and return to step 2. 4.It’s time to fix your column names. Double-click the first column title (like Field1).

20. 5. Type a new name, and then press Enter. 6.Press Ctrl+S or choose File→Save to save your table. 7.Type a suitable table name, and then click OK.
