How to Create & Delete Records in Microsoft Access

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Dave Andrews. Today I'm going to show you how to create and delete records in Microsoft Access. Let's go to the computer and open up Microsoft Office Access. Open up a database and select open if you get a security warning. I have one table, let's open it up and add some records to it. To add a record, select a field that is not an auto number field and just start typing some data into it. As you can see, it's added a row right below the one that we just created. I can click in the next one again and add another row just by typing. It automatically creates the rows as we type. To delete records, move your mouse over to the very edge here when it becomes an arrow. Select the record you want to delete and right click and just say delete record. It gives you a warning that you're about to delete data, and that it might not be recoverable. It's that easy to add and delete records. My name is Dave Andrews, and I've just showed you how to insert and delete records in Microsoft Access."
