Instructions
- Open Microsoft Access. An Access shortcut is your "Programs" menu's "Microsoft Office" folder. Opening Access will also open the "New Document Wizard." Use the icons on the screen to select the type of database you'd like to create. If you have no specific type or formatting in mind, click on the "Blank Database" icon and click "Create."
- Click inside one of the cells on screen to put your cursor inside of it. Type the information you'd like to store in a particular cell. To create a new cell, tap the "Tab" keyboard button. Type information into and create additional cells of data until your database begins to take shape and holds the information you need it to.
For example, if you want to create an Access database containing how much money you made on a particular date, click inside an existing cell and type a date. Then, hit "Tab" and type the amount of money you made into the cell next to the one you inserted the date into. You can repeat this process until all of the information that you have in mind is inserted into your Access database. - Click the "Office" button (or the "File" button, depending on which Access version you're using).
- Click "Save As."
- Select "Access Database" and then "OK." Your database file, including all of the information that you stored inside of it, will now be created on your computer.
