I Mostly program in FoxPro which is a Database Managment System. But I've programed in Assembler for the Timex Sinclair 2000 which was a Z80 chip and also on a Apple II which was a 8602?? chip. I've programed in Fortan on punch cards back in high school. And in college I was using COBOL and Pascal on the mainframe with some JCL, or we also were using Basic on the IBM-PC's. I've also used C and C++ for a limited amount, going through exercises in books, etc. Before FoxPro I was doing some work with DBase III+ and DBase IV. I have done some macro programing in WordPerfect beyond the basic recording keystrokes.

Access 97 is a database managment system where you can create tables, relationships, queries, forms, reports and glue them together with macros, and/or VBA modules.

There is a process of designing a program called systems analysis and design. There is also a design process of Object Oriented Design and a process called RAD (Rapid Application Development). And where more than one programer is involved it is considered JAD (Joint Application Development).

Here is a design process as it relates to Access 97 or other database programs:
