Understanding MS Access Basics

First, I need to know what type of work you have to do on MS Access. As far as I am concerned, I think you only need to work with the Table option. You don't have to worry about other options like Query, Form, Report, etc.

If you want to do any kind of work in MS Access, first of all, you have to make a database, and then you have to create a table for it. Simply open a new database, go to the Table option, and select Design from the upper side of this window. Add the fields and a data type from there. When saving a table, it asks you for a table name. After that, it shows a message to set a primary key. Don't set a primary key; ignore it unless you know the proper function of your table and primary key. Only then use this option. After saving a table, it shows you a view of your table where you can edit fields and add new data.

If you want to make a form to fill those fields, go to the Form tab and simply select to create a form using the wizard; it really helps you to make a proper form.

Simply use this trick; you can also use it for making reports or pages.

If you want any additional information or have any queries, email me at [Email Removed For Privacy Reasons].
