- Most of the databases we use on a regular basis have gone through the entire design process--from creating the tables and adding data to having well-designed forms and reports for the end user. Every once in a while, though, a form or report doesn't work quite as well as it should--for example, the tab order in a form may be wrong, and the insertion point may move from one field to the next in a seemingly random order. Or the information in a report may be arranged poorly, making it hard to find the information you are looking for. Think of a form or report that you use regularly in a database and discuss how user-friendly it is. What is particularly useful about how the form or report works or is laid out? What could be changed to make it more user-friendly.arrow_forwardFixing a problem will often cost money; to minimize these costs it is best to find and fix the problem ____. a. just before shipping our product to the customer b. immediately after we complete the last operation c. during the design phase d. just before we begin the first production operation e. regardless of when you fix the problem, costs are about the samearrow_forward1.
