Access Database
Your company, TechSkill, a customer support organization located in Half Moon, New York provides computer services to different businesses in the metropolitan area.
TechSkill has technicians who support a variety of different software and hardware. These technicians have skills in Operating Systems, Applications, Communications, Servers and PCs.
Since TechSkill is doing well and growing, there is an urgent need for a database for storing technicians’ information. The IT Management team wants to use MSAccess as the database system and have tasked you with creating this database. Please complete the following steps:
1. Use
MS Access to create a new, blank database and save it as
TechSkill.accdb.
2. In Datasheet view for the Table1 table, name the table
Technicians.
3. For the Technicians table, rename the default primary key
ID field as
TechID. Change the data type of the
TechIDfield to Text (Access 2007 and 2010) or Short Text (Access 2013).
4. Add the following five fields to the new table in the order shown; all of them are Short Text fields
except HireDate, which is a Date/Time field:
FirstName, LastName, TechLevel, SkillSet, and
HireDate. Resize the columns, if necessary, so that the complete field names are displayed.
5. Enter at least 15 records into the
Technicians table. Examples of the table and its fields/records are listed below:
TechID FirstName LastName TechLevel SkillSet HireDate 68-9250 Your Name Your Name 1 OS 04/13/2015 6. Resize all datasheet columns to their best fit, and then save the
Technicians table.
7. Use the Simple Query Wizard to create a query that includes the
FirstName, LastName,
SkillSet, and
HireDatefields from the
Technicians table. Save the query as
StartDate, and then save and close the query.
8. Use the Form tool to create a form for the
Technicians table. Save the form as
TechInfo.
9. In Form View of the
TechInfo form, use the navigation buttons to navigate to the fifth record you created, and then change the
SkillSet value to
Business Intelligence.
10. In Form View, click on the “new record” button and input the information of your newly hired technician, and then close the form.
11. Use the Report tool to create a report based on the
Technicians table, and name the report as
TechReport. In Layout view for the report, use the mouse to resize the width of the
fields so they are slightly wider than the widest entry (either the field name itself or a data in the field). All six fields should fit within the page area (vertical dotted line) after you resize the specified fields. At the bottom of the report, move the text “Page 1 of 1” to the left so it is within the page area. Display the report in Print Preview and verify that the fields and page number fit within the page area, and that all the values are fully displayed. Save the report and close it.
