Create a multiple-field index
- Open the table in Design view.
- Click Indexes
on the toolbar.
- In the first blank row in the Index Name column, type a name for the
index.
You can name the index after one of the index fields, or use
another name.
- In the Field Name column, click the arrow and select the first field for the index.
- In the next row in the Field Name column, select the second field for the index. (Leave the Index Name column blank in that row.) Repeat this step until you have selected all the fields you want to include in this index.
Note The default sort order is Ascending. Select Descending in the Sort Order column of the
Indexes window
to sort the corresponding field's data in descending order.
