Simple Database
This tutorial shows how to: (i) create a simple design based on a DB data source, and (ii) load and display DB records on the basis of a user selection. The data for the design is sourced from a database of cars that is stored in a Microsoft Access database. In the solution, the user can select a manufacturer. That manufacture's car models are then displayed in a table (see screenshot below).
