Create and Run an Application

Specifying an Application

An application is designed to meet the needs of a category of users. In the library system, the categories of users could include librarians, administrators, and borrowers. It is usual to design a separate application for each category of users.

Each application has a name and startup form, which displays when the application starts. From the startup form, menus can control the display of other forms.
