Once you’ve created your table, you will need to add fields (these will contain the data). You will also need to specify the type of data that the fields will contain (eg, text, number, date, etc).
You can also add extra rules about the type of data that can be entered into each field (eg, that phone numbers should be entered this way, dates should be entered that way, etc), as well as other properties for each field.
In Microsoft Access 2013 & 2016, you can create a database straight from the Welcome screen or from the work area. You can create either a blank database, or a database from a template.
Create a Blank Database
From the Welcome Screen
When you first open Access, the Welcome screen is displayed. You can create your database straight from here.
Click Blank desktop database
Name the database at the prompt and click Create
Your new database will have one table called “Table1”. You can modify this table to your needs. You can also create new tables and other database objects.
