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.
Type of Data Description Size
Short Text Text or combinations of text and numbers, including numbers that do not require calculating (e.g. phone numbers). Up to 255 characters.
Long Text Lengthy text or combinations of text and numbers. Up to 63, 999 characters.
Number Numeric data used in mathematical calculations. 1, 2, 4, or 8 bytes (16 bytes if set to Replication ID).
Date/Time Date and time values for the years 100 through 9999. 8 bytes
Currency Currency values and numeric data used in mathematical calculations involving data with one to four decimal places. 8 bytes
AutoNumber A unique sequential (incremented by 1) number or random number assigned by Microsoft Access whenever a new record is added to a table. 4 bytes (16 bytes if set to Replication ID).
Yes/No Yes and No values and fields that contain only one of two values (Yes/No, True/False, or On/Off). 1 bit.
If you use previous versions of Access, you will notice a difference for two of those data types.
