In Access and in databases in general each field in a database table is of a certain data type. The data type determines what type of data a field can hold. A field of the text data type can hold text, a field of the number data type can hold numbers and a field of the data/time data type can hold date and time values.Access actively checks what type of data is entered into a field and Access will disallow the entry of data into a field that doesn't conform to the field's data type. Access won't allow you to put text into a field of the Number data type, for example.So, data types are a way to restrict the entry of data into a field. Internally, the database uses different strategies for the storage and retrieval of different data types.
Number or currency formats
No, "text" is not an access data type. In Microsoft Access, commonly used data types include Text, Number, Date/Time, Memo, and Yes/No among others. Text is used to store alphanumeric data such as names or descriptions.
In Access, the Text data type can hold up to 255 characters. If you need to store more characters, you can use the Memo data type, which can store up to 65,535 characters.
