Creating and working with database records

After you define the necessary fields for a database, you can begin adding and working with records.

A record is a collection of data about a single subject. In an address book database, for example, you create a separate record for each person. Every record in a database contains the same fields, with data specific to each record. (You can create different layouts to view different fields for records.)

You create and work with records in Browse or List mode.
