Now what?
So you’ve got a new database started. What do you do now? You leaf on over
to Chapter 2, where you can find out more about all the tools that Access
offers — tools that are on-screen almost all the time and those that are spe-
cific to the way you chose to dig in and start that database.
In Chapter 3, you actually begin building a database, setting up tables and the
fields that give them structure. And you’ll figure out which tables you need to
set up, putting that great plan that this chapter helped you build to work!
Figure 1-17:
The basic
fields for
each table
are already
set up for
you, along
with reports
based on
the table’s
fields.
