| Description |
The Address Book is a simple database program for the quick storage and retrieval of address data (names, telephone numbers, etc.). What separates this program from many others like it is that parallel lists of active and inactive records can be maintained. Sometimes an address
is no longer current, yet to keep it in the list is often annoying and sometimes can lead to confusion. Deleting such a record is not always the best option since only after it's forever gone is it realised that it actually contains useful data. Likewise, for addresses that change
often, it can get quite burdensome entering the same data over and over again. Thus, to overcome such inconveniences, the program features the ability to deactivate a record rather than deleting it. In this way, the record is still maintained within the database and can be activated at any time. When it's certain that such a record is no longer required, it can then be deleted. |
