What is table in Microsoft Access?
A table contains data. It's structure is fields like date or birth, phone number, marital status, gender etc. , and the data is broken down into records, which is data for each individual. So your data would form one record, and someone else's data would form another record.
I believe it is "Delete Column"
How can users increase the magnification of the print preview?
In print preview you have two options, zoom in and zoom out. Click on the screen with the magnifying glass icon or click on the zoom button to toggle between zoom in and zoom out.
You can not increase the magnification more than the zoom in setting. However, you can see more if you decrease your windows screen resolution. Changing your windows screen resolution reduces the amount you can see on the screen, but everything displayed will appear larger.
How will you access the help feature in Access?
Press the F1 key or go to the Help menu and choose the option from there.
What are charts and tables used for in a presentation?
It is a visual way to represent figures or statistics.
How do you set up ascending and descending order in a table and a query?
I'm actually not familiar with Access, but I'll try to help. Usually the primary key will physically order the rows in a database table. In SQL-query you can use "order by" clause. The default order is usually ascending. You can also add "asc" or "desc" after the column name.
Please do notice, primary keys are not for ordering rows. You should really let the database decide how to save the rows. You should always order the rows in your query (if needed), not modify or trust the physical order!
select col1
from foo
order by col2
select col1
from foo
order by col2 desc, col3 asc
How do you create a drop-down field on a table in Microsoft Access?
To create a drop-down field on a table in Access, you can do this:
1. Open the table in design view.
2. If you haven't already, create the field and specify its characteristics on the 'General' tab(i.e. data type, field size, etc...). The tab is in the lower-half of the screen.
3. Select the field you wish to make as a drop-down.
4. There is another tab next to 'General' named 'Lookup'. Click on that.
5. Set the following Field Properties as follows:
a. Display Control: Combo Box
b. Row Source Type: Value List
c. Row Source: Here you can enter a list of acceptable values, separated by a semicolon. Example: if you want the user to specify from 3 choices (such as A, B or C), you'd enter: A;B;C.
d. Limit To List: Yes - recommended if you don't want the user to enter values other than what you've defined above.
As a minimum, this info may be enough to get your started. Note that this info comes from Office 2007 and your version may be different, thus some options may not be available.
Hope this is enough to start you off. Keep in mind, there is always more than one way to do what it is you ask. Good luck!
How can you insert the fields from the field list into the report?
You can drag them onto the report.

Equity refers to the principle of fairness and justice in the distribution of resources, opportunities, and treatment among individuals and groups. It recognizes that different people may have different needs and circumstances, and seeks to provide support and accommodations to ensure everyone can achieve similar outcomes. This concept is often applied in contexts such as education, healthcare, and social justice to address systemic inequalities and promote inclusivity. Unlike equality, which treats everyone the same, equity aims to level the playing field by considering individual differences.
