Add new field to existing database

How do I add a new field to an existing database?

RE: Add new field to existing database

Hi Anne,

Thanks for your question. To add a new field,
1) open existing table
2) switch to design view
3) insert a blank row in your field list
4) type in Field Name, set Field Type, set Field properties
5) Save to update table
