Table Wizard

Creates tables based on typical table structures. The Table Wizard provides table templates, optional style settings, support for both Character and Memo binary data types, and access to databases. The wizard lets you select a table that fits your needs from the list of sample tables. You can customize the table's structure and fields as you step through the wizard. You can add your table to a database and you can use database settings to determine the formats of fields you add to your table. You can also establish relationships between tables in the database.

You can also modify the table later after the wizard has saved the table.

If you have one or more databases open, the Table Wizard automatically adds the new table to the current database. If you add your table to a database, the Table Wizard provides automatic formatting of selected fields. If no databases are open, the wizard creates a free table.

To run the Table Wizard

• From the Wizards submenu on the Tools menu, choose Table.

You can also access the Table Wizard from the menu by choosing New from the File menu, selecting Table, and selecting the Table Wizard option.
