How to: Open Tables
You can open a table in Table Designer to view or edit its structure. Note that Table Designer does not commit changes you make to the table until you save your changes.
Note
The dialog boxes and menu commands you see might differ from those described in Help depending on your active settings or edition. To change your settings, choose Import and Export Settings on the Tools menu. For more information, see Visual Studio Settings.
