Is This A Workable Project Plan?

I need to create an access database to track and report on work done by my group. The total number of end users will only be two or three. I took an access course about 8 years ago, so I have a good understanding of basic relational databases, but do not know how to really make them. I will be working with either an in-house expert or hiring a consultant, but need to know if the following is a reasonable project flow...

1. Define tracking and reporting requirements
2. Define Tables
3. Define Keys and validate table inter-relationships
4. Create forms
5. Test forms (add dummy data)
6. Design reports
7. Test reports
8. Create User Interface
9. Obtain end user feedback
10 Wipe DB and repopulate with real data

thanks in advance

certainly a possibility. In my mind's eye, I would just test the forms by adding data and seeing if the DB populates correctly. It would not necessarily matter that I made up the name of the company or not if the info got into the right field...
