How do I add Categories to Access Contact db?

[revnice]

I'm using the standard Contact management db from Microsoft, the one you can download from the web.



It comes with a couple of Categories, 'Personal' and 'Business' - how do I add more Categories?

Thanks - rev

it depends where the categories are located. in tables I would assume. Just add more records to it I would guess

I would guess something like that too but I need steps.

well...I heard the ones they used in the movie Inception will work just fine.

basically what that means is that I can't get the template out and figure it out for you. can't you try and start it?? I'm sorry, just no time to GET you started. besides, that should be paid for. give it a go yourself and post some info on your roadblocks.

Here is what a simple solution to that. If you are using the same one i downloaded.

When you open you data base close the opening screen. You can do this by right click the tab that says contacts list and clicking on close. Next from the navigation bar right click on the contacts table and open it in design view. Then go down to where the categories field and under data type select lookup wizard. A wizard will then pop up. From there select I will type the values that I Want and click Next. Type in the different categories that you want. Warning though... If you want to still have the default categories ( Personal , Business) you need to retype those in as well. Then Click next and finish and make sure you save the table.
