Final answer:
To change the data type of the 'Date Acquired' field in a database table to Date/Time, you must open the table in Datasheet View, switch to Design View, and select Date/Time from the data type options, not through Form View as the question incorrectly suggests.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question relates to changing the data type of a field in the Datasheet View of a table in a database application, such as Microsoft Access. This specific task involves altering the structure of a table to ensure the 'Date Acquired' field is set to properly capture date and time data. However, the instructions provided in the question pertain to adjusting the date and time settings on a digital camera, which is irrelevant to the task at hand. To change the data type in the Datasheet View:
- Open the Clients table in Datasheet View within your database software.
- Right-click on the 'Date Acquired' field column header.
- Select 'Design View' from the context menu.
- In Design View, locate the 'Date Acquired' field.
- Under the 'Data Type' column, click on the current data type next to 'Date Acquired' to display a drop-down list.
- Choose Date/Time from the list as the new data type.
- Save the table design to keep the changes.
The task description regarding the Form View and format options relates to setting the display format of data, which is a different aspect than changing the data type in table design. It's important to differentiate between data type settings in a database and display formats in form controls.
