Adding Existing Fields to a Table
Rather than force you to create a new table from scratch when you start a new database, Access lets you use the Field Templates task pane to choose commonly used fields from a number of preconstructed tables. The tables are the same tables found when you click the Table Templates button on the Create tab, but they contain a wide variety of fields that enable you to flesh out your tables with a minimum of effort.
