This form is used to add or delete students from the database. Only the StudentID and Class fields are required for entry. But a student name is required for running reports.

Students are usually sorted first by Class then Position then alphabetically by Last Name First Name and Middle Initial. If entered the address Date Of Birth and Phone are displayed on some reports. The order of display for reports may be changed by editing the Position box. The button Reposition by Last Name will change the position numbers of the current displayed list of students to 1, which by default will next sort them by Class, Last Name, First Name, Middle Initial. The button Reposition by First Name will change the Position number over-riding the sort order to Class, First Name, Last Name.

The Active check box is used for identifying those that are currently segregated for reporting. Another form is provided to identify and store different groups of students and making those groups active. The Buffers (place holder) numbered 1 to 9 are the differet groups that have been defined.

By checking the Removed checkbox the students information is removed from all calculations and reports. But the recorded data is not disturbed.

The filters may be used to quickly find a particular class of students or a student by last name.
