I know that the order of Base parts are: Tables, Queries, Forms, and
Reports. However, in creating a database the order is Tables, Forms,
Queries, and then Reports. The latter order seems to make more sense for
both the Base Guide chapters and the Introducing Base chapter, itself. While
queries can be created immediately after the tables, they are not very
useful until data has been entered into the tables. Nor could a person see
the results of the query without the data already entered. And, forms are
created so that the data can be entered into the the tables in one place.
    I would like to change the order in the "Introducing Base" chapter I am
presently writing. I am finishing the section on creating tables which
should be finished within the next day. I will then jump to the creating
Forms section and come back to the Queries section. I know I can use the
Navigator to move these sections around, and that is exactly what I would
like to do.
    Unless someone has some valid reasons for keeping the order as it is
presently, I will move the material around in this chapter.
