sample tables.

fields for this table.
3) Selected fields: Using the > button, move the following fields from the Available fields
window to the Selected fields window in this order: CollectionID, AlbumTitle, Artist,
DatePurchased, Format, Notes, and NumberofTracks.

Employees from the drop down list of sample tables. Use the > button to move the Photo
field from the Available fields window to the Selected fields window. It will be at the bottom
of the list directly below the NumberofTracks field.
5) If you make a mistake in selecting fields, click on the field name in the Selected fields list
and use the < button to move it from the Selected fields list back to the Available fields list.
6) If you make a mistake in the order of the selected fields, click on the field name that is in
the wrong order and use the Up or Down arrow on the right side of the Selected fields list
to move the field name to the correct position.
