A table is a way of storing a collection of data in columns and rows, called fields and records. There are different ways to create a table. One of the easiest ways is to use the Table Wizard.

This produces a list of typical table entries under Sample Fields. You pick which fields you want from this and add them to the list under Fields in my new table.

We want to create a table with fields to hold a Customer ID number, Company Name, Address, City, and Phone Number.

The Table Wizard asks you questions about your table and uses the answers to create a blank table for you to add your data to. You can choose features from a variety of common table types, such as business mailing lists, employee records, payments or invoices.
