If you have read access to a database that contains the design elements that you need for your application, copy the existing design and use it as the basis for a new application. If you copy the design of an existing database, keep in mind: |
The setting for the full text search index are copied as part of the design. When you complete the new application, be sure to ask the database manager to create a new index. |
Before you copy the design of a database, check its Database Properties. If "Design is hidden" is shown on the Design tab in the Database Properties box, you will never be able to modify the database design of the new database. |
