You can create address labels or a personal userfile. The database contains many files that contain different types of related data. About 30 files make up the Student Information System. Normally, you will use only 2-4 of these files for your reporting. A file consists of many records.
Some files have one record for each student while others have many records for a student.
A record is made up of fields. Each field is one piece of data about a student. Examples of fields are Name, Student ID, Birth Date and Gender. These are elementary fields and may only have one value in the record. Other types of fields can have more than one value in the record.
