Answers
Answer:
Every field in a table has properties and these properties define the field's characteristics and behavior. The most important property for a field is its data type. A field's data type determines what kind of data it can store. MS Access supports different types of data, each with a specific purpose.
The data type determines the kind of the values that users can store in any given field.
Each field can store data consisting of only a single data type.
Here are some of the most common data types you will find used in a typical Microsoft Access database.
