Brian, You can arrow down through the list of records in the database, yes. There is a bit of interacting to view the particular record, as you interact with a scroll area, but it really isn't difficult. The idea of a database, if you aren't familiar, is that you view a record at a time. Say you should want to find information on a customer or contact who contacted you regarding a particular issue, or you want to find anything related to a particular keyword, you can do a search within a specific form for any records related to that keyword or keywords. Databases work to organize information to keep all like data together, which means that you have a standard form related to medical visits, say. Then you create records using that form that tell about all of the different medical visits you or others had. That way if you want to find particular information on a medical visit you can search within that form. If you are looking for a particular order number to see what customer it applies to, you search for it and it quickly brings up that information. I have to say I haven't used it very much yet, but from what I have used of it, I love it.
I hope this is helpful and isn't to confusing. Thanks, Harry On May 17, 2013, at 1:04 PM, Brian Fischler <blindga...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hey Harry, Thanks so much for the info.
