The STUDENT table opens in the Table Data View window. This view displays the table created with the field names as
              the top row. These fields are displayed in the same order as they were added while creating the table. If the number of
              fields are more and cannot fit in the single row, you can use the horizontal scroll bar to view all the fields. The cursor
              will be blinking in the second row.
              If the records are already added earlier, then, those records will also be displayed and you can add more, modify or
              delete the existing records.
              Step 3:  Start typing the value where the cursor is blinking.















              Step 4:   Press Tab key to move to next field. Once all the data values are entered for a single record, the cursor moves
                      to the next record. This process is called data entry.
              Step 5:  Repeat Step 3 and 4 add more data in the fields of the table.

















              Step 6:  Click on the Save current record button to add the record in the table.
              Step 7:  Click on the Close button to close the Table Data View window.


                      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:
                   w The   button is used to move to the first record in the table.
                   w The   button is used to move to the previous record based on the currently selected recording the table
                   w The   button is used to move to the next record based on the currently selected record in the table.
                   w The   button is used to move to the last record in the table.
