- Click the refresh (
) button to see the data currently in the table. - To add a row of data, click the Add Record (
) button in the toolbar or right click on a cell and select the Add Record option. - Data can now be added to the new row, simply by selecting a cell and typing in the data
- To edit any existing data, click on the cell containing the data and type in the new information.
- To delete a row of data, highlight the whole row and click the Delete Record button (
) in the toolbar or right click and select the delete record option. - To save your changes and exit out of the TableEdit program click the save button
