Open a document to work in

A good starting point for developing a database application is to create a 

page that lists records stored in the database. In the application you're 

building in this tutorial, you'll create a dynamic web page that lists 

information drawn from the customer comments table of the database. 

Later, you'll create another dynamic web page that lets a customer insert 

comments or questions directly into the database.

Start by locating the documents you'll work with as you create these pages.
