Create the Suppliers Table

When you’re ready to add information about suppliers to your inventory database, create a table to store the data. The Table Wizard makes it easy to create a table. When you use the wizard, you can choose from a variety of tables and associated fields.

New Object button

To use the Table Wizard, in the database window, click the New Object arrow, click New Table, and then double-click Table Wizard. Select Suppliers from the Sample Tables list, and then add the fields you want. After the wizard creates the Suppliers table, click Save (File menu) to add the table to your database.

Does the table have fields in common with an existing table in your database?   When the Database Wizard creates your table, you can set options to specify a relationship. For more information, see View Relationships Between Tables. Can’t find the type of table you want in the Table Wizard?   If the Table Wizard list doesn’t include the table you want to create, click the New Object arrow, click New Table, and then double-click Datasheet View. Type the field names and data in the blank datasheet.
