1. Access 2007.

2. a new database.

3. I am saving with this name, student10.accdb.

4. T drive.

5. I do not want to use the datasheet to make the structure
I do not want to use the datasheet to make the structure. I click on the tool icon to bring up the design view.

6. to stu.

7. The first field was ID and auto number
The first field was ID and auto number. I changed this to stuid (my name) and text which allows numbers and characters. I also changed the size of the field from the default of 255 to 4.

8. The primary key is the field that uniquely defines each record.

9. Now I am adding a field to the record structure or layout for the student name. I called it stuname and gave it a field size of 45.

10. Adding the major field.

11. Adding the numcr field which is a number and I will show the type later. Field names should have no embedded spaces so I should call it numcr or num_cr or numCr etc.

13. I have made it an integer which means a whole number.

14. The gpa has decimals so I use single
The gpa has decimals so I use single. If it is a large decimal I would use double.

16. I am in design mode. I can click view to go to datasheet view to enter the data.

17. Now I have entered data for two records.

18. Looking at the homework and possible fields for designing the game.
