Since Employees is want we want to call this table we can leave this unchanged. We also will let Access set the Primary Key for this table since Access usually uses the first field in a table and in our case that field is EmployeeID which obviously should be a unique number for each employee. Click on Next . Since there are no other tables related to the one we are currently making, click on Next again to move to the next step. Select Modify the table design and click on Finish to display the Table Design window.
Access creates the table and opens the Table Design window.
Notice how the EmployeeID field has been set as the Primary Key. We could make any other necessary changes we desired from this screen, but for now let's save the table by clicking on the Save button and then close the Table Design window by either double clicking on its Control Menu Box or by choosing File, Close from the menu. In the next exercise we will work with these tables by entering and saving data and by modifying their designs.
