Microsoft Access 2013 Datentypen

Microsoft Access 2013 provides 12 field types for you to choose among. Choose the field type that best
describes the data you want to store in the field and that works for the type of analysis you need to use the
field. Here are tips on when to use which type of field.
Field Type What It Holds
Short Text
(Kurzer Text)
Text up to 255 characters long (including spaces and punctuation). Use a Text field, not a
Number field, for codes even if they look like numbers, such as phone numbers, zip codes,
and other postal codes.
Long Text
(Langer Text)
Text up to 65,536 characters. A Long Text field can contain Rich Text (formatted text), and
you can set it to Append Only so that it can accumulate text notes without allowing the user to
delete whats already there.
Number
(Zahl)
Only numbers. You may use + or before the number, as well as a decimal point. If you plan
to do math with a field, use a Number or Currency field.
Currency
(Wrung)
Numbers with a currency sign in front of them ($, , and so on).
AutoNumber
(AutoWert)

Numbers unique to each record and assigned by Access as you add records, starting at 1.
Use an AutoNumber field as the primary key field for most tables.
Date/Time
(Datum/Uhrzeit)
Dates, times, or both.
Hyperlink Text string formatted as a hyperlink. (If you click the link, it takes you to the page.) This field
type is especially useful if related information is available on the web.
Yes/No
(Ja/Nein)
Yes or no (a particular condition is, or isnt, in effect) or other two-word sets, such as
True/False, On/Off, and Male/Female. Use a Yes/No field if you want to display the field as a
check box on forms.
Attachment
(Anlage)
Stores one or more entire files pictures, sound, Word documents, even video in one
Attachment field.
Calculated
(Berechnet)
Data created with a formula. Use a Calculated field when a calculated value will be used in
many queries, forms, and reports.
