You need a minimum screen resolution of about 700 pixels width to see our exercises. This is because they contain diagrams and tables which would not be viewable easily on a mobile phone or small laptop. Please use a larger tablet, notebook or desktop computer, or change your screen resolution settings.
Create a data source for the Films database in the above folder (this contains tables for categories of film, certificates and the films themselves).
Create a form called frmList to look and work like this:

When you choose a category and certificate, you see all the corresponding films
Now create another form called frmDetails to show a single film at a time:

Saving changes should return you to the previous (updated) list form
Make sure that:
- when you double-click on a film in the list (or click on the Edit button) the film automatically appears in the separate single-record form
- when you make any changes they are automatically written to the underlying database
If you get all of this working, you have cracked Windows Forms applications!
