Entering data in records

In Browse mode, you add information in a database file by entering data in records. You can:

•	type information into fields using your computer keyboard.

•	enter preset data from a value list.

•	copy and paste data, or insert special information into a field.

•	copy and paste images, QuickTime movies, and insert files (such as word processing files or PDF files) into container fields.

•	use drag and drop to move data between fields, from one file to another, or from another application. See Moving text and data with drag and drop.

•	import data. See Saving and sending records in other formats.

•	record a sound directly into a container field. For more information, see Recording and playing sounds in fields.

•	use lookups or relationships to copy or display data from other database files.

Note  If you're working with a database that doesn't have any records, you must create a record before entering data.
