CHAPTER 9
Lesson 6: Creating a Main Application Page
In this lesson you will enhance the Compass Travel Trip Maintenance application. So far, you
created a very useful drill-down query facility. Compass Travel trip coordinators can produce lists
required by management and easily locate and display information about any trip. There are
several requirements that were identified in “Lesson 1: Preparing to Build the
Sample Application” on page 41 that you have not yet addressed:
• The ability to browse through the Trips table.
• The ability to add, delete, and edit trip information.
You will modify the Trip Detail page to accomplish this additional functionality. The Trip Detail
page shows information about a single trip. You will convert the Trip Detail page into the main
application page by adding the following functionality:
• Navigation buttons to browse the database
• Database maintenance buttons to edit, delete, and add new trips, as well as a button to search
