Microsoft Access Tricks and Tips Easy ways to get more from Access 2 : Tables
When and why should I use Indexes? You should use an index on any field that you will want to sort, search, or join to another table. They will speed up these tasks. However, each index makes the database file larger and can slow it down, so only use them when you need to. How can I change the starting value of an AutoNumber type field? First of all you need to create your table with an AutoNumber type field. Do not enter any records. Then create another table with only a single Long Integer Number type field. Ensure this field has the same name as the AutoNumber field in the first table. Enter one record in the second table that is a number one less than the required start of the AutoNumber for the first table. Now create an append query to append the record in the second table to the first table and run the query. You can now delete the second table and begin entering your data into the first table. How can I hide Rows and Columns in Tables? You can reduce the width of a column in table by using the mouse to drag the column edge to the desired width. Position your mouse pointer at the right of the field selector for that column and drag it to the left. If you drag it beyond the left hand side of the column you will hide the column. You can decrease the height of a row in a table in a similar way. Simply position the mouse between the two record selectors at the left side of the table and drag to the required height. When you change the height of the row it will make all rows for that table the same. For this reason you cannot hide the row by dragging the bottom above the top of the row as it would hide all rows for the table. How to remove tables from the Relationships window? you don't have to delete your table. Simply select the table in the relationships window, then Right Click and REMOVE TABLE. This does not change any relationships the table has and you can always add the table again if you need to by using ADD TABLE from the relationships menu.
