Analyze the Results

Three tables were used to gather the data into the Receipt. What does that look like in the Receipt table? Double click tblReceipt to open it and look at the data.

 

This is what a table should look like: numbers, numbers, numbers.

 

Databases like to eat numbers: it’s much faster than parsing words one letter at a time.

 

Memo to self: Your users don't need to see the numbers! Highlight all of  the ID fields, right click and select Hide Columns.

 

Default Values: When you created the Receipt table you set the field property for the Date to be the current date by using the code =Date(). Did it work with your sample data?
