Creating a Table by Entering Data
Access allows you to display many of its objects in multiple viewing modes. Datasheet view displays the data in your tables, queries, forms, and reports. Design view displays options for designing your Access objects. You can create a new table in both views. When you create a table in Datasheet view, you enter data and Access creates the table as you type. Access determines the data type of each field based on the data you enter. The Click to Add column shows you where to add a new field. You can also paste data from Microsoft Excel tables into a new database and Access recognizes the data types.
