In Microsoft Access, a table is a structured collection of data organized into rows and columns, where each row represents a unique record and each column represents a specific attribute of that record. Tables serve as the foundational objects for storing data in a database, allowing for easy data entry, retrieval, and management. Each table can have a primary key to uniquely identify records and establish relationships with other tables.

In a Microsoft Access table each column shows the information in a field. Each row shows a record.
When a new table is created in Datasheet view in Microsoft Access, it automatically includes a field called "ID" by default. This field is typically set as the primary key and is configured as an AutoNumber type, which means it generates a unique sequential number for each record. This helps to uniquely identify each entry in the table.
An attribute would refer to a field in the tables that you create in Access.

In Microsoft Access, a destination field refers to the specific field within a table or query where imported or copied data will be placed. When performing operations like importing data from an external source or appending records, the destination field is where the incoming data will be stored. It is essential to ensure that the data type of the source matches the data type of the destination field to avoid errors.
It could be stored in a Memo field, but in reality you would not use Microsoft Access at all to store it. You would store in a Microsoft Word document.
