# Table Design

This section contains information about how to create a new database table in the design view.

Open the database file of the database where you want a new table. Click the Tables icon. Choose Create Table in Design View to create a new table.

In the Design view, you can now create the fields for your table.

- Enter new fields in rows from top to bottom. Click the Field Name cell and enter a field name for each data field.

- Include a "primary key" data field. Base needs a primary key to be able to edit the table contents. A primary key has unique contents for each data record. For example, insert a numerical field, right-click the first column, and choose Primary Key from the context menu. Set AutoValue to "Yes", so Base can automatically increment the value for each new record.

- In the next cell to the right, define the Field Type. When you click in the cell, you can select a field type in the combo box.

Each field can only accept data corresponding to the specified field type. For example, it is not possible to enter text in a number field. Memo fields in dBASE III format are references to internally-managed text files which can hold up to 64 kB text.

You can enter an optional Description for each field. The text of the description will appear as a tip on the column headings in the table view.
