B – Control Panel Form Here you can find some (if Basic) or all (if Full) of the functions of this database The first function you’ll want to use is probably “Guided Votes”, which allows you to vote quickly all the movies in database, also reporting the percentage completed for each category of movies (look at Tutorial step “C”) “Votes” is a similar function but a little more advanced and without categories of movies… but it’s probably the main form of the database for managing records (look at Tutorial step “D”) In “Rankings” you can choose your favourites for each type of ranking “Viewings” allows you to note when/where/etc… you’ve seen a movie “Export current user…” allows you to save your data and send it to me by mail.
