Create a table to hold directors of films called tblDirector, with 4 fields:

Create a table to hold the names of film directors.
Note that the director's gender should be held as a number; use the Lookup Wizard to look this up from the separate table of genders.
Now follow these steps to import directors into your table:
-
Import data from the Excel workbook called Directors.xlsx in the above folder into a new table.
-
Edit the design of this new table and delete the ID field created for you.
-
Copy and paste all of the records from this imported table into your tblDirector table.
At the end of this, you should have a table of directors!

The first few directors (although the gender displays as Male, the value held is 2).
Close your table down!
