This document discusses data types and field properties in database tables. It explains that data types define the value of a cell and field properties define the format of data within a cell. Common data types include text, number, date/time, and currency. Field properties like field size, format, and input mask control how data is entered. Setting the proper data types and field properties helps ensure data is organized, formatted, and sorted correctly.

Data Types and Field PropertiesData Types and Field Properties
Data types and field properties are used to
format data so that it can be used and managed
The data type defines the value of a cell and the
field property defines the format of the data
within the cell

Editor's Notes
For example, you can use the field properties to make sure that users enter every shipping date with two numbers for the month, two numbers for the day, four numbers for the year, and slashes in between: 03/09/2008. You can also require that the shipping date be at least two days after the entry date.
