Creating Your Own Database

This chapter will discuss using the Tel (Telephone) and User File applications. The two applications are actually identical in the way that they function, except that they have different default file and field names to accommodate different types of information. The flexibility of these applications allows you to manage a wide variety of information, from a simple address book to an extensive restaurant guide or even a listing of your favorite movies. You can even store graphic images in each entry.
