Saving our tables I:

Now that we've created the structure, we will learn how to Save our table properly.

We can do this from the Office button, with the option "Save" or by simply clicking on the "Save"icon you see in the image below.


After clicking on Save, we will be asked to add a name to the table. By default, we will get the name "Table1", but we can choose any name we want. .

In this basic Access course were not going to get into multiple Tables and their characteristics. These topics will be dealt with in more advanced courses.

Anyway, we will click on "Yes" in order to familiarize ourselves with the term.

This is the way our Table will look like with the primary key

 

We will learn more about Key in the following lesson.
