A primary key uniquely identifies each record in a table. For many tables, the primary key is the ID field by default. The ID field, which is created automatically, stores a unique number for each record as it is entered into the database. If you want, however, you can designate another field (or even multiple fields) as a primary key. To do so, switch the table to Design view, select the field that you want to set as the primary key, and click the Primary key button on the Design tab. 7 Repeat Steps 2 to 6 to add more records to the table. Access adds your records. • You can resize a column by dragging the column border left or right. • You can use the scroll bars to view different portions of the table.

You can locate records you want to view or edit using the navigation bar that appears along the bottom of the form window. This navigation bar contains buttons for locating and viewing different records in your database. The navigation bar also contains a Search field for locating a specific record.
