 1. 

A primary key field contains unique information for each record.
 

 2. 

The only way to create an Access table is to use the Table Wizard.
 

 3.

 4. 

You add field descriptions and other field properties in Table Datasheet View.
 

 5.

 6. 

As you add more field property entries, you are generally expanding the amount or type of data that can be entered into a field.

From the Database window, you can double-click a table object to open it in Datasheet View.
 

 8. 

You can change the font and color of a datasheet.

 11.

 19. 

You can sort by more than one field in a datasheet.
 

 20.

 21. 

Once you have filtered a datasheet to display a subset of records, you can still sort the records, but you cannot use the find feature.
 

 22. 

The easiest way to filter the records for an exact match is to use the Filter By Form feature.
 

 23. 

To filter for comparative data and to specify more complex criteria, use the Filter By Selection feature.
 

 24.
