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.
2. | Position the cursor immediately to the right of the "Employee #:" text object and click the left mouse button. |
The "DB Edit Properties" dialog box is displayed. You will notice a panel with "Table and Field". You will use the "Data Field:" drop down box to select from a list of available columns.
3. | Select EmployeeID. |
4. | Click the OK button. |
