Instructions

  1. Create a new field in the Clients table to hold the addresses of client Web sites--name it Web Site. You can create the new field in either datasheet or Design view, but you will have to set the data type in Design view.
  2. Once you have created the new field, enter some data in it. The following clients have Web sites (two of these Web sites are real pages):

Lizard Web, Inc.www.ldbw.com
XPDX, Inc.www.xpdx.net
Great Tapes, Inc.http://www.greattapes.com

You don’t actually need the “http://” in front of the Web site, so delete that from the Great Tapes record. Remember that you can’t just click a hyperlink to edit it – you have to right-click and use the Edit Hyperlink dialog box or Tab to it and press F2.
