762 Chapter 25 Explore an Access <strong>2010</strong> Database<br />

When you view a table in Datasheet view, you see the table’s data in columns (fields)<br />

and rows (records). The first row contains column headings (field names). In this format,<br />

the table is often simply referred to as a datasheet.<br />

Field names<br />

Field<br />

Record<br />

Field names, fields, and records in a table.<br />

If two tables have one or more field names in common, you can embed the datasheet<br />

from one table in another. By using an embedded datasheet, called a subdatasheet, you<br />

can see the information in more than one table at the same time. For example, you might<br />

want to embed an Orders datasheet in a Customers table so that you can see the orders<br />

each customer has placed.<br />

In this exercise, you’ll open existing database tables and explore the table structure in<br />

different views.<br />

SET UP You need the GardenCompany01 database you worked with in the preceding<br />

exercise to complete this exercise. Open the GardenCompany01 database, ensure that<br />

tables are listed in the Navigation pane, and then follow the <strong>step</strong>s.<br />

1. In the Navigation pane, double-click Products. Then at the right end of the<br />

Navigation pane title bar, click the Shutter Bar Close button so that you can<br />

see more of the table’s fields.
