In your case: machines, materials, components, vendors, etc. Once you get to Expert Level 1 and 2 and finish the lessons on relationships, you'll have a much better understanding of how these things will relate together. For now, start building your tables keeping in mind that each of these is going to have an ID field to link them to something else. Products and Vendors, for example: each Product will have a VendorID to tell you who you buy that product from. That's a one to many relationship. Or, you may have a situation where you have multiple vendors that supply the same products. That gets into many to many relationships, which are a little tougher. I see you've only finished Access Beginner 6. Keep learning. You'll get there soon. The Expert Series starts relationships. Sorry, only students may add comments.

What is an LACCDB file Upload Images   Link  Anthony Lorenti  10 months ago Rick, Referencing: Video 06. Questions From Students (10:26) What is an LACCDB File? I have Access 2019. How do I turn off the file extensions for my version? Thank you, Tony Richard Rost 10 months ago Hi Anthony. Your Access database is an ACCDB file. The LACCDB file is the record locking file created by Access to keep track of who has what open in the database. This way if two people are using the database at the same time, you don't run into conflicts. It's created when the database is open and it SHOULD be deleted automatically when everyone closes the database. To see these file extensions, you have to turn them on in WINDOWS. I think everyone SHOULD get used to seeing them. Microsoft turns them OFF by default. In any Windows Explorer, click on the VIEW tab and then make sure File Name Extensions is checked.

Themes Upload Images   Link  Greg Maus  5 years ago I noticed the "Themes" dropdown button is not usable for me (greyed out). In fact, the "Colors" and "Fonts" dropdowns on the Themes ribbon are also greyed out. Do you think there might be missing files I have to download to use these features?

Form Design Upload Images   Link  Modi   5 years ago Hi Richard, as you mentioned early that forms and queries do not store date, but tables, so when I modified some of the field names while designing form does not affect the table design I have made, help me please I do not understand that. Read More... Reply from Alex Hedley: You aren't modifying the Table you are modifying the CONTROL on the FORM, you are binding a CONTROL to link it to a Field in your Table, if you change this and it doesn't exist as a Field it won't work or the CONTROL's name is just different to the underlying RecordSource.
