Access provides a default name of Database1.accdb for new databases. Be sure to provide a

name that you’ll recognize. In Figure 2.5, the new database is named

MyCollectibleMiniCars.accdb. (Entering the extension .accdb is optional — Access

automatically supplies it if you don’t.)

When the new database is created, Access automatically opens it for you. In Figure 2.5, notice that

Access opens the new database with a blank table already added to the database, ready to be filled

in with fields and other design details.
