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.

by the user. In this view, you can edit the records of the table.
