INTRODUCTION

At first, a database table may include just a few records. As you continue to add records, however, that number will grow. To help you view all the records in a table, the table window includes a row of scroll buttons that allow you to scroll up and down in the window in case the record you need is not currently displayed onscreen. Alternatively, you can use the navigation buttons found at the bottom of the table window to move from record to record, as outlined here.

TIP

Adding a New Record

The navigation bar also includes a button for creating a new record. You can click this button or the button in the Standard toolbar in the main Access window to create a new record. See the next task for more information.
