Quick Tables in Access

If you're running out of time and you need a new table, you can bypass Design View, go straight to an empty table, and start entering data. To do so, in the Database window click the Tables tab and then click New. Then, click Datasheet in the New Table dialog box.

Access will open a blank table with default field names. You can start entering your data right away. Later you'll probably need to go back and name fields and tweak field properties. But in a pinch, it's a real time-saver.
