You are working on a database that will track speakers for a national conference. The data entry person entered information in the Speakers table incorrectly. He entered the first half of a new record cor¬rectly, but then jumped to a different record and overwrote the existing information with incorrect data. When you discovered the error, it took you a long time to find the correct information and cor¬rect both records. You decide that a form would help your co-workers enter data more accurately and help eliminate these types of errors. You create a form that will help the office staff add new speakers and sessions to the database as plans are finalized. After creating the form, you will customize it to be more user-friendly. If you have problems, reread the detailed directions presented in the chapter. This exercise follows the same set of skills as used in Hands-On Exercises 1 and 2 in the chapter. Refer to Figure 4.52 as you complete this exercise.
