766 Chapter 25 Explore an Access 2010 Database


The Orders table structure is displayed in Design view, and the Table Tools Design
contextual tab appears on the ribbon.

Datasheet view displays the data stored in the table, whereas Design view displays the
underlying table structure.

See Also For information about table structure, see “Refining Table Structure” in
Chapter 26, “Create Databases and Simple Tables.”
CLEAN UP Close the Orders table. Retain the GardenCompany01 database for use in
later exercises.

By default, Access 2010 displays database objects on tabbed pages in the program
window. If you prefer to display each object in a separate window rather than on a
separate page, you can do so.

To switch to overlapping windows:


  1. Click the File tab to display the Backstage view, and then click Options.
    The Access Options dialog box opens.
