Now let's test the application on the Customer table. You created CustomerForm at the end of lesson 4, but you haven't tested this form yet.
Entering New Data in the Customer Table
To test CustomerForm, you'll add the information for a new customer.
To add a new customer:
| 1. | In the SkyWriteApp application, choose Customers: Add Customer. |
CustomerForm, the form you created earlier, is displayed.
| 2. | Add the record shown below to the Customer table. |
Field |
Data |
CustomerFirstName |

CustomerLastName |

4301 Union Ave. |

CustomerCity |

CustomerState |

CustomerZip |

CustomerAreaCode |

CustomerPhone |
633-2632 |
| 3. | When you have finished entering data in the last field, choose the check mark button to save the data and close the form. R:BASE adds the row to the Customer table and returns you to the application's menus. |
Modifying Data in the Customer Table
Assume that your contact at City Flowers has changed from Laurie Keller to Annette Ely. Following the procedure for the previous section for employees, edit the existing record for Ms. Keller.
When you finish editing the row be sure to save it.
Printing Customer labels
Printing customer labels is similar to printing the employee list, except for the sorting options. Next, you'll print the customer labels to the screen using both sort options.
To print customer labels:
| 1. | In the SkyWriteApp application, choose Customers: Print Customer Labels. |
The submenu you defined is displayed. The two sorting options available for printing the labels are By Company and By Zip Code.
| 2. | Choose By Company. |
The label is displayed on the screen.
| 3. | Maximize the screen. |
| 4. | After viewing the labels, press the "Close" to clear the labels from the screen. |
Now print the labels by zip code. When you are done printing the labels, press the "Close" button to return to the application.
