Add a record. You can add a record to any table.

 

You will have the opportunity to change every field

 

and enter the record as you like. In some tables,

 

key fields are generated automatically and are not

 

part of the add record process. If you need to

 

change a key field, this can be done under the

 

modify process.

 

 

d

Delete a record. To delete a record, knowledge of

 

specific keys is required. Queries may need to be

 

performed in order to determine the specific key

 

the delete process requires before deleting a

 

record. Once the record is found, it is displayed for

 

confirmation before deletion. Be aware that in

 

some tables this will result in more than one

 

record for deletion.

 

 

e

End this program.

 

 

I
