506 InfoMaker
The following illustration shows the Employee table in the EAS Demo DB,
which has 20 columns of data for 75 employees. When you view it in the
Database painter, you can see only a few rows and columns of data at a time:
Changing data or entering data for a new employee directly in the
Employee
table is difficult. To see other columns, you need to scroll (or InfoMaker scrolls
for you as you tab from column to column), and you can never see all the data
for an employee at one time.
Instead, you could use the following form to enter or change employee data.
The form uses the Freeform form style of InfoMaker. When you run the form,
here is a sample of how it looks:
You can use this form to change data easily. You can also insert data for a new
employee, click the Insert button, and a blank form displays. You can see all
the data for each employee at one time, and with additional enhancements, the
presentation of the data can be improved for printing.
