Can I add fields to an existing table?

[LizH]

I'm setting up my first simple database, really an address book with a few more fields. Can I add fields to my first table, or do I need to create a new table every time I want to add a field? Can I pull data from several tables for an input form?

Can I add fields to my first table

Right click on the table and select Edit to open the table design GUI.

Can I pull data from several tables for an input form?

Yes. Look here for
Base Tutorials
Also look at the link on that page to Database Examples

Thanks, Donald. I'll look at these over the weekend.
