Exploring Tables 763


The Products table is displayed in Datasheet view.

Each row in this table contains information about a product and each column contains one
field from each record.


  1. In the row of field names at the top of the table, point to the right border of the
    Product Name field name, and when the pointer changes to a double-headed
    arrow, double-click the border.
    Access adjusts the width of the field to accommodate its longest entry. Notice
    that Product 1, Magic Lily, and Product 2, Autumn crocus, are assigned to the
    Bulbs category.

  2. Double-click the right border of the Category field name to adjust that field’s width.


Tip You can also resize a table column by pointing to the border and dragging it to the
left or right.


  1. In the Navigation pane, click the Shutter Bar Open button, and then double-click
    Categories.
    Tip From now on, open the Navigation pane whenever you need to work with a
    different object, but feel free to close it if you want to see more of the data.
