Tables are the heart and soul of any database. They’re where a database stores all its information. All the other database objects are merely tools to analyze and manipulate the information stored in tables.
Of course, before you can open a table, someone will need to have already created the table, or else you’ll need to be using a database template that already has tables created for you.
Next, look at the record navigation buttons near the bottom of the screen. The record navigation buttons on the Record Navigation bar display the number of records in the current database and allow you to move between these records.
