Help with building an access database.
I'm in desperate need of your help..
I need to build an access database and have NO idea how to do this.. Not even where to start.. It IS for school, and am not asking anyone to do my homework for me.. I am merely asking for help, perhaps pointers as to where to begin.. I've never used access before.. I'm rather cluey when it comes to computers, and playing around with it I managed to create a table, and link it to a form, but.. That's as far as I can go.. Anyway.. If anyone would be so kind to help, it'd be greatly appreciated. Now, you will note that this will be a very basic database.. It's for a first year subject in Uni.. So.. As I said.. Any help at all.. Will be very much regarded.. Your first task is to create a Microsoft Access database called 'Assignment4.mdb' (to hold all the data). Once the database has been created, you will add three tables to it, and these tables must be in the format set out in the table below. Table Name Field Data Type Size/Format Student StudentNo Number Long integer StudentName Text 25 Suburb Text 25 State Text 25 Country Text 25 PhoneNo Text 10 Course CourseNo Number Long integer CourseName Text 30 ProgramNo Number Long integer Program ProgramNo Number Long integer ProgramName Text 30 DateStarted Date/Time dd/mm/yyyy Taking StudentNo Number Long integer CourseNo Number Long integer Here, Student Table contains student details and StudentNo is the primary key. Make some suburb names starting with 'C' and some states names starting with 'V'. A student can take many courses. Course contains information about which student has taken which course; CourseNo is the primary key. Make some Course names starting with 'I'. A course can be offered to many students. Program contains program details and ProgramNo is the primary key. Make one Program is started in 2003, one in 2004 and the rest are in 2005. A program has many courses, but a course can only belong to a program. Part 2: populating database Now, populate the following tables with a number of records. There are in total 20 students where 5 students are International students. There are 5 different programs (ie. Degree, eg, Bachelor of Science) There are 5 different courses for each program (ie. Subject, eg, Introduction to Information Technology) Part 3: Create a query Create a Query to list all the Students with StudentNo, StudentName and PhoneNo. Create a query to list the names of the Students and the CourseName beginning with 'I' that they have taken. Create a Query that will display all the ProgramNo, ProgramName and CourseName in ascending alphabetical order for ProgramName. Create a Query to list all the local Students i.e. who are resident of Australia. Create a Query to list the Students who live in a Suburb beginning with 'C' and State beginning with 'V' and find out their telephone number. Part 4: Create a Form Create a user-friendly form for him/her to enter more new Students names and details into the Database at a later stage. Enter 5 more Students into the Database using the form you have created. Part 5: Generating a Report Generate a report for Students who took Programs that started in 2005. Group them by Student's States. The report should contain all information about the students and use corporate format for this task. This report is similar to the confirmation of your enrolment statement in this and other courses. So; as I said.. I'm stuck.. As basic as the above would seem.. If I could get a slight explanation of how each part works.. Or how access as a whole works, how it gathers information, how new information is entered into an already built database.. It would be greatly appreciated.. |

Help with building an access database.
Dear Bec:
Your question requires a book worth of information, or the assistance of your instructor. It would not seem usual to have such an assignment without there being any resources at hand. If you exhaust those resources and have a specific question where we can help, please come back here for the help you need at that point. Tom Ellison "Bec" wrote in message ups.com...

I need to build an access database and have NO idea how to do this.. Not even where to start.. Start by talking to your instructor and reading your course materials. Posting a homework assignment verbatim will not get you much (other than some sour looks and cold thoughts). If you have a SPECIFIC problem (say, creating a table using the New Tables option and getting an error message) we'll be glad to help. But we don't volunteer our time here to do students' work for them. John W. Vinson[MVP] |
