Why does Access warn you about the changing of field properties and consequences could occur?

Simply because there can be consequences, such as losing data. If you change the type of data for example, that can change how the data is stored. A date being changed to text will affect how the data would be sorted for example. If you shortened the length of a field, you might lose some data. You always have to be very careful when changing properties.

How do you describe Form in a field of Microsoft Access?

Hi there,

You did not specify the version of Microsoft Access you are using, but it is very similar across the various versions generally speaking. I will answer from the perspective that you have a form created already, and wish to add the description (Which is used to describe the purpose of the field to the individual using that form). I am using Access 2007, which contains a rather impressive "help" system, accessible (no pun intended) from the "?" mark in the top right corner of the ribbon-bar. The system will even show you tutorial videos for many common procedures. For adding a description, I generally use what is called "Design-View". You can switch from one "view," or mode of database design and interaction essentially, by using the "view" option on the menu-bar at the top of the Access window. So open the form, or other item in which you are interested, then select, "Design-View," from the View menu. You will then notice that there are a large number of option which can be set at the bottom of the table's design-view, and among is "description." Hope this helps. ave a great Day!

How to import multiple Microsoft Excel spreadsheets into Microsoft Access 2003?

If it is an appropriate type of spreadsheet and you lay it out properly, like having headings for the field names and the data correctly in the rows and columns, then it can be imported into Access. You do not need to import things like totals, just the raw data. Even data generated by formulas can be generated in Access through queries mainly, or formulas in forms, so they don't need to be imported either. If you do import them, they can then be removed and replaced with calculated fields.

You can try importing it directly in Access but you can save it as a CSV file first, which is in the list of Save As options in Excel. It is a text file with data in each cell separated by commas, and each new row on a new line. Then you can take the import option from within Access and your data can be saved as a table in Access. You will be able to choose what fields you want and what ones you don't, and so leave out the ones that contain formulas. You can use the field headings from the first row or decide on your own and also choose a primary key.

What is better in call centers Excel or Access?

You can't really say, as Excel and Access are for different kinds of tasks. Excel is a spreadsheet and there would be lots of things that it would be used for in a call centre. Access is a database and it also could be used for lots of things in a call centre. It depends on what you want to do. If you are doing lots of calculations in your work in a call centre, you are more likely to be using Excel. If you are keeping lists of data, then you would be more likely to use Access.

How do you include a field in an access query?

Start the new query in design view and add in the table that you want when it asks you. It will now appear in the top part of the window, above the design grid. To bring a field into the design grid, you can do a number of things. You can drag a field down and drop it into the column. You can start to type the field into the column. You can pick it from a drop down list in the column. Simplest of all, you can just double click on the field in the field list and it will be put into the design grid.

When you sort data in a query the records in the underlying table are actually rearranged?

No. Most queries list off data, but does not affect the underlying data. Certain types of query can be used to change data in a table, but do not re-arrange the order of the data in the table itself. That is determined by the indexes, mainly the primary key. You can sort the data in the table itself and have it remain that way.

How do you insert a blank column in MS Access?

You insert a new field. It is not like a spreadsheet, such as Excel, where you can enter an entirely blank column. In Access it is a field, so you create a new field in design view. The field will have a name and data type and whatever other properties you specify. Initially there will be no values in it, so it will be blank, and then you can add data into the field.
