How to type text to the right of a table

[Guest]

I have created a simple table and need to type test to the right of the table
that explains the data. The area to the right is blocked and when I click in
the area I wish to type, the row inside the table is highlighted. Any help is
appreciated.

Ron,

It is hard to imagine what you mean by "to the right of the table". But
these comments might help... First of all, it is not a good habit to
use a table for entry of data. This is what Forms are for. And second,
if you need to enter a separate "element" of data for each existing
record, you can add a new field to the table to hold this additional
information.

Hope this helps, and apologies if I have missed your meaning!

Hi Ron,

If you mean you have selected Tables objects
that shows list of tables in the db, and you want
to add "Description" text, just right-mouse click
on the table and choose "Properties."

You will be given a textbox where you can type
in what you want (if I understood correctly) that
will show up in the Description column.

Good luck,

Gary Walter
