When the student first begins to use the tutorial database they must save all of the tables, queries, reports, forms, and macros created. Due to conflicts with advance macros and visual basic there will be no spaces in module names or field names. Furthermore, all forms and reports created by the student will have a label box in the form or report header with the students name, class, date, chapter, page and lab number. The text will be colorful.
