How to Start a New Database

The skills we have already learned will help you start a new database. Planning is the hardest part of this procedure. Be sure to know which fields you want in the database before you start.

  1. Open up Microsoft Works and choose Database from the Works Tools.

  1. You will get the Insert Field screen. Name your field, format it and click on Add.
