Access 2000

Working with Records

When entering records, you may need to resize columns. To resize columns, place the mouse pointer between the column headings. When the pointer changes to a resizing tool , click and drag to manually resize the column, or double-click to use the autofit feature.

Saving Your Work: After adding a new record in the last field in Datasheet View, you use the mouse, an arrow key, pressing Tab, or Enter to move the focus off a record. When you do so, Access saves the data automatically.

If you want to save data without moving the focus, choose RecordsSave Record. For example, if you are entering a long record and you would like to save the data while you work, choose this option.
