Overview


In this exercise I’d like you to add two fields to the Projects table. Both fields are Yes/No fields – one is called Completed, and one is called Paid.

Instructions

  1. Open the Projects table.
  2. Use the Design view to add the two fields, since you are also defining the data type. You can add them anywhere in the table, but it takes sense to add them after the other fields. The first field is Completed, the second is Paid.
  3. Once you have created the fields (in Design view), add data to them in Datasheet view. This gives you a chance to practice with unfamiliar Yes/No data. In the Projects table the first five projects are complete, and you have received payment for the first three.
