When you create a database and drag it on to your form it will populate all the controls needed to make it fully active.
One of the controls is a navigation menu strip that allows you to:

• Scroll through records
• View how many records are in the database
• Add records
• Delete records
• Save records

Some of us may want to use our own type of controls that will perform the same functionality.
Maybe you want to make your own buttons and place them wherever you want on the form.
This project removes the navigation menu strip and uses buttons to perform all the above.
There is also a label that displays how many records are in the database.
