11. Consider who will use the database and whether you want to restrict access
to it. When you create the database, assign access privileges as needed.
For more information about accounts and privilege sets, see chapter 6,
“Protecting databases with accounts and privilege sets.”
12. Decide what layouts you need, and plan a separate layout for each task.
For example, create separate layouts for printing labels or envelopes.
For more information about creating layouts, see “Creating layouts and
reports” on page 98.
13. Create a form such as the one shown below to list the files and tables you
need and the fields for each table. Also list the forms and reports you will
generate from each table.
