Can you please tell me how to add columns to tables in the "Desktop Charitable Contributions" template in Access 2013?

Hi,

You can add a column in a table by opening the table and if you scroll to the right you will see the option "Click to Add" in the field header. By doubleclicking that header a drop down will show you the possible datatypes to choose from and after choosing one you will be able to 'name' your field.

Thanks Maurice for your suggestion.  However I do not have a "Click to Add" option in the field header (after scrolling to the right). I wish I did!

Hi DebScott,

According to your description, my understanding is that you want to custom the Desktop Charitable Contributions template, am I right? If yes, please see the sample image:

Steps:

• Click the Option>Current database>Display Naviagtion pane
• Click the Naviagtion pane>Object Type> Select the table which you want> Add a column.

New question: Do you know how to do a mail merge with Microsoft WORD when the table is located in the Desktop Charitable Contributions template in Access?
