Hi Emily
I trust that you found you MS Access course useful.
As you have probably already learnt during your course today, a database is a collection of tables that may or may not have a relationship between them. These tables are then made up of records (which are the rows), these records are made up of fields.
Hope this helps
David

Not sure which data type to use for your Access fields? Here are some guidelines to help you choose a data type to assign to a field.
- The Text data type can accept up to 255 characters. For information that will be recorded in paragraphs, use Memo.
- Also use Text for numbers that aren't going to be used in calculations, e.g. phone numbers.
- Use the Currency data type for monetary amounts.
- Use Date/Time for dates.
- Most other numbers can use the Number data type, but the Field Size property may have to be altered.
- For fields that have only two alternatives (yes, no) use Yes/No data type. If there is likely to be a third entry option (e.g. maybe or don't know) use Text instead.
