How to Add Data to a Microsoft Access Table

This is how you get your information into a database table you've set up. These instructions work for Access 97.



Step1
Launch MS Access and open your database.


Step2
Use the F11 key to switch to the database window.


Step3
Click on the Table tab. A list of tables appears.


Step4
Select the table that you want to use, then click Open. The table appears. Each horizontal row represents one record. Each column in the row represents a field in the record.


Step5
Click in the first cell in the empty record.


Step6
Type the information that should go there.


Step7
Move from one horizontal column to the next by using the Tab key or by clicking in the column.


Step8
When one record is complete, a new, blank record will automatically appear at the bottom of the rows.
