Study Notes
Creating and Modifying Tables
- New tables can be created using Datasheet view, requiring AutoNumber for ID, Date & Time for CommentDate, and Long Text for Comments.
- To rename fields in existing tables, right-click the field heading and select "Rename Field," then enter the new name.
- Changing a field’s data type, such as converting to Date/Time, can be done via the Table Tools - Fields tab.
- Field Size can be adjusted to limit character input; changes prompt a warning about potential data loss.
Adding and Saving Data
- New fields can be added by selecting "Click to Add" and choosing the desired data type (e.g., Long Text for Notes).
- Captions for fields, like "Address" for the Street field, enhance clarity in forms and reports.
- Medium Date format can be applied to date fields in Datasheet view to standardize date display.
Navigating Data
- Clients and Managers tables support navigation through records using designated buttons for moving to first, next, previous, and last records.
- Users can add new records in Datasheet view by selecting "New" and entering required information, such as Manager ID, name, and email.
Accessing Different Views
- Forms can be accessed by double-clicking, allowing users to view and enter data in a structured layout.
- Tables can switch between Datasheet and Design views; Design view provides the option to modify field properties.
Deleting Records
- Records can be deleted from tables by selecting the record and confirming deletion when prompted, which modifies the dataset accordingly.
Primary Keys and Data Types
- Setting a primary key, such as ClientID in the Clients table, is done in Design view to ensure unique identification for each record.
- Data types for fields, including the Hire Date field in the Managers table, can be modified to suit data requirements, ensuring accurate data entry and validation.
