Is this database compatible with a Windows product, or would a BSP user be limited to the BSP to navigate and retrieve data from the database manager?

Open the database manager and choose an existing database. If you're designing one from scratch, the low-tech approach is to put each field and its characteristics on a three-by-five card then move the cards around until you have the order you want, then enter the information into the table manager. If later you want to add fields, or rearrange the order of existing fields, you'll have an existing database with which to work.); 2. Press space-plus-m to open the database manager's main menu; 3. Select table manager (enter-plus-t); 4. tab twice (space-plus-dots 4 and 5), or press m, to choose "modify table" . Pressing enter there will open the modify table dialog box; 5. tab twice to get to "add field" and add your new field. As you noted, it will be put at the end of the table; 6. Go to the bottom of the field list to find the field you just added. Tab across to the "previous field" button. Pressing this button moves your new field up one position and moves the field from that position down, swapping their positions. If you then keep going to the field list to be sure you're still working with your new field and tabbing across to press the "previous field" button, you can continue to move your new field up the list until it occupies the position you want. All the fields you have moved down as you moved the new one up will retain their original order. If for example, you start with a nine-field table, add a new one and move it up to position three, the modified table will have fields 1 and two in their original positions, field three will be the one you just added, and the fields which used to occupy positions three through 9 will now occupy positions four through ten. I hope there either is or will be a more efficient way to do this; but this is what I've found so far.
