RE: Add new field to existing database

Hi Anne,

Thanks for your question. To add a new field,
1) open existing table
2) switch to design view
3) insert a blank row in your field list
4) type in Field Name, set Field Type, set Field properties
5) Save to update table


Katie

Access tip:

Splittng a database

Split your database into two (at least).

Keep all of your code, forms, reports, etc. in one 'code' database and all of your tables in another 'data' database which is then linked to the 'code' database.

This makes modifications, updates and back-ups that much easier and allows you to work on a new version of your 'code' database without affecting existing users. It also makes it easier should you wish to convert a single user databases into a multi-user networked version.
