NAVIGATING RECORDS IN A TABLE
There is a pointing arrow in a table, known as record pointer, that is used to specify the current position or selection
within a table. It indicates which record is currently active or being operated in the table. To navigate through various
records of the table, we use the navigation box present at the bottom of the Table Data View window. The Navigation
box is made up of two components:
• Record Selector text box: This text box displays the currently active record number. You can input the desired record
number into this box to select and make it an active record in the Datasheet View.
• Navigation Buttons: You can click on these buttons to navigate through the records. The These buttons allow you
to move in a table as given below:
