When you create an Access database, you store your data in tables—subject-based lists that contain rows and columns. For instance, you can create a Contacts table to store a list of names, addresses, and telephone numbers, or a Products table to store information about products. This article explains how to create a table, add fields to a table, set a table's primary key, and how to set field and table properties.
Before you create tables and add fields, make sure you understand the background concepts. For more information, see Introduction to tables.
