Now we'll place the DB Edit object for the employee number.

 

To place DB Edit objects on FlightForm:

 

1.In the "Form Designer" window, choose the "DB Edit" button from the "Database Controls" toolbar.

 

The "Database Controls" toolbar specifically places objects that reference data that is stored in the table. You will notice that most buttons have a database cylinder in the image foreground. The "DB Edit" button is the second button from the top left.
