Running a Query

There are several different ways that you can cause a query to run. In fact, you have seen two of them already. Here's a list of some of the techniques you can use to run a query:

• Select a query and then select Open from the Database window.

• Right-click a query in the Database window and then select Open.

• While in the Design view of a query, use the View tool to select Datasheet view.

• While in the Design view of a query, right-click the gray area of the query grid and select Datasheet View (see Figure 3.4).

• Click the Run button (which looks like an exclamation point) on the Query Design toolbar (see Figure 3.5).

I challenge you to find even more ways that you can run a query.
