Please open the spreadsheet.

 

What Do You See? There are 10 new movies in this spreadsheet. The first Row is the Header Row. It includes the following Fields: Movie, Year, Rating, Genre and Stars.

 

What Should You Be Looking For? These Field names MATCH the ones in the Access Table, tblMovies.
