Walkthrough Review Form (pg 95)

Other notes and forms that you have supporting your requirements determination process
Dataflow Diagrams (all levels) (chapter 5)

Entity-Relationship (E-R) Diagrams (chapters 6 and 9)
Data "Dictionary" - lists of all file structures identifying fields, data types, descriptions, and key fields (what you develop when you define a file in Access)
System Design Specifications (pg 256 - parts (a) and (b)) - The narrative part should describe the purpose and basic logic of the module/subroutine/program (whatever you want to call these things) as well as the data files utilized, the inputs, and the desired outputs (note: as there may be several subroutines associated with each form, the narrative must explain the functionality of all capabilities of the form)
User's Guide - must completely explain what the system does and how users can make it work for them. This should be a completely self contained document that a new user should be able to reference in order to successfully use the system with little or no assistance.
A diskette (which you can retrieve during the break or next semester) containing your entire system - VB code and Access database (.exe file optional)
