OKay! Have learned that table editing must be initiated via a
right-click drop-down menu on the highlighted name of table,
rather than attempting to use the menu-bar's "Edit" tab. I knew it
was a simple solution.
That's not true: you can always use the menus. There are two things
you might mean by "editing": modifying the table design (which is
what you originally asked about - adding another field to an
existing table) and editing the data the table contains.
o To modify the table design, you can use Edit in the context
(right-click) menu, but you can indeed get to the same Table Design
view via Edit | Edit... .
o To modify a table's data, you need Table Data View instead. You
can double-click the icon, use Open in the context menu, or go to
Edit | Open Database Object... .
So, to edit data within a Table, use the Edit menu tab near top of
screen; to edit the structure of Table, use the context- menu while
Table name is highlighted.
No: try what I said instead! As for many things, you can reach either
function using either the main menus or the context menu. And you
need an item to be highlighted in order to use the main menus but not
to use the context menu: in that case it is highlighted automatically.
