Creating a database document

then click OK.
Or, click on the Default button bar. (If you don’t see the button bar,
choose Show Button Bar from the Window menu.)
When you open a new database document, you begin by defining fields. The

and other options. Once you have defined the fields, you make new records
and enter values (data) in the fields.
