l Field names can include letters, numbers, and many special characters.
l Field names can’t include a period (.), exclamation point (!), brackets ([ ]), or
accent grave (`).
l You can’t use low-order ASCII characters — for example Ctrl+J or Ctrl+L (ASCII
values 0
through 31).
l You can’t use a double quotation mark (“”) in the name of a Microsoft Access
project file.
You can enter field names in uppercase, lowercase, or mixed case. If you make a
mistake while
typing the field name, position the cursor where you want to make a correction and
type the
change. You can change a field name at any time, even if the table contains data.
The next step is to actually create your tables and define your fields for those
tables. You must also
decide what type of data each of your fields will hold. In Access, you can choose
any of several data
types (these data types are detailed in the “Assigning field data types” section, later
in this chapter):
l Number: Numeric values of many types and formats. The different numeric
options are
l OLE Object: Pictures, graphs, sound, video, word processing, and spreadsheet
files
l Hyperlink: A field that links to a picture, graph, sound, video, word processing, or
spreadsheet file
One of these data types must be assigned to each of your fields. You may also
want to specify the
Field Size property for the Text fields, or accept the default of 255 characters. The
Field Size
property specifies the maximum number of characters that a Text data type field
may contain.
