Figure 1-2. Sample Screen Displayed by a Multifile Application
Like the application whose screen appears in Figure 1-1, this
application provides labels and fields. To distinguish between a
record from one data base file and a record from the other file,
the application encloses some of the labels and fields within a
box. Because applications like this one can access information
from more than one data base file, these applications are
sometimes called multifile applications.
