i + TYPES OF VIEWS IN ACCESS
There are two types of views in Access: Datasheet view and Design view. We can switch between
these two views by clicking on the arrow of the View command in the Views group under the
Home tab. We can also use the Design View and Datasheet View buttons located on the right-
hand side of the Status bar to switch between two views.
Design View
In the Design view, the records are not visible. You can only see the field names along with their
data types. You can add or delete a field name. The Design view window is divided into two parts:
• Field Grid Pane: It is used to define the field names and their data types.
• Field Properties Pane: It is used to set the properties for the fields defined in the table.
