Microsoft Access MS Access Basics Tips and Trick-7

Adding Data An Access database is not a file in the same sense as a Microsoft Office Word document or a Microsoft Office PowerPoint are. Instead, an Access database is a collection of objects like tables, forms, reports, queries etc. that must work together for a database to function properly. We have now created two tables with all of the fields and field properties necessary in our database. To view, change, insert, or delete data in a table within Access, you can use the table’s Datasheet View. A datasheet is a simple way to look at your data in rows and columns without any special formatting. Whenever you create a new web table, Access automatically creates two views that you can start using immediately for data entry. A table open in Datasheet View resembles an Excel worksheet, and you can type or paste data into one or more fields. You do not need to explicitly save your data. Access commits your changes to the table when you move the cursor to a new field in the same row, or whe...

Moving with Mouse

You can easily move the insertion point by clicking in your text anywhere on the screen. Sometime if the sheet is big then you cannot see a place where you want to move. In such situations, you would have to use the scroll bars, as shown in the following screen shot −



You can scroll your sheet by rolling your mouse wheel, which is equivalent to clicking the up-arrow or down-arrow buttons in the scroll bar.

Moving with Scroll Bars

As shown in the above screen capture, there are two scroll bars: one for moving vertically within the sheet, and one for moving horizontally. Using the vertical scroll bar, you may −

  • Move upward by one line by clicking the upward-pointing scroll arrow.

  • Move downward by one line by clicking the downward-pointing scroll arrow.

  • Move one next page, using next page button (footnote).

  • Move one previous page, using previous page button (footnote).

  • Use Browse Object button to move through the sheet, going from one chosen object to the next.

Moving with Keyboard

The following keyboard commands, used for moving around your sheet, also move the insertion point −

KeystrokeWhere the Insertion Point Moves
➡️
Forward one box
⬅️
Back one box
⬆️
Up one box
⬇️
Down one box
PageUpTo the previous screen
PageDownTo the next screen
HomeTo the beginning of the current screen
EndTo the end of the current screen

You can move box by box or sheet by sheet. Now click in any box containing data in the sheet. You would have to hold down the Ctrl key while pressing an arrow key, which moves the insertion point as described here −

Key CombinationWhere the Insertion Point Moves
Ctrl + ➡️To the last box containing data of the current row.
Ctrl + ⬅️To the first box containing data of the current row.
Ctrl + ⬆️To the first box containing data of the current column.
Ctrl + ⬇️To the last box containing data of the current column.
Ctrl + PageUpTo the sheet in the left of the current sheet.
Ctrl + PageDownTo the sheet in the right of the current sheet.
Ctrl + HomeTo the beginning of the sheet.
Ctrl + EndTo the end of the sheet.

Moving with Go To Command

Press F5 key to use Go To command, which will display a dialogue box where you will find various options to reach to a particular box.

Normally, we use row and column number, for example K5 and finally press Go To button.
