Add a Text Box to a table column

Use a Text Box control in a table to display text in a table column. For example, to populate addresses in the Address column, use the Text Box control in the Address column of the table. You can also populate string type date in a table by using the Calendar control.

  1. On the Extended Properties page of a Table, click Columns.
  2. On the Data Type list, select String.

    Note If the data type is decimal, you can set the decimal precision. For example, if the decimal precision is set to 3, the numeric value will display decimals up to three places.

  3. On the Column Type list, select Text.
    Note If the data type is String or Date, and the column type is Text, you can show date, or both date and time.
  4. Click Add Add.
  5. Click Close.
