EX16_AC_COMP_GRADER_CAP_HW – Drivers and Insurance

Project Description:

In this project, you will add fields to a table and set data validation rules. You will also import a text file into a database, design advanced queries, and create a navigation form. Additionally, you will use SQL to modify a record source and create an embedded macro to automate opening a report.

Start   Access. Open the file named exploring_acap_grader_h1_Drivers.accdb.   Save the database as exploring_acap_grader_h1_Drivers_LastFirst.

Create   a table in the database by importing the downloaded delimited text file named   Insurance_Text.txt. Use the first   row of the file as field names, use InsuranceID as the primary key, and then   name the table InsuranceCos_Text.   Accept all other default options. Do not save the import steps.

Create   a new field in the Agency Info table after InsPhone named Web site with the Hyperlink
  data type. Save the table. In Datasheet view, add the website http://William_Smith.com to the
William Smith record (Record 1).

Create   a new field in the Agency Info table after Web site named AgentPhoto with the Attachment data type. Save   the table. In Datasheet view for Record 1 (William Smith), add the downloaded picture file named a00c2WmSmith.jpg to the AgentPhoto   field.

Set   the validation rule of the InsuranceCo field to accept the values AS, NAT,   or SF only. Set the validation text to read Please enter AS, NAT, or SF. (include the period).

Make   InsuranceCo a lookup field in the Agency Info table. Set the lookup to get   values from the InsuranceID field in the InsuranceCos_Text table. Accept all   other defaults and save the table. In   Datasheet view, click in any InsuranceCo cell and click the arrow to view the   options. Close the table.

Create   a new query using Design view. From the Insurance table, add the DriverID,   AutoType, TagID, and TagExpiration fields (in that order). Save the query as Missing Tag Dates.

Set   the criteria in the TagExpiration field to find null values. Run the query   (two records will display). Save and close the query.

Create   a new query using Design view. From the Drivers table, add the Class field.   Change the query type to Update and set the criteria to update drivers whose   class is Minor   to Junior. Run the query (eight records will   update). Save the query as Driver Class_Update   and close the query. View the updates in the Drivers table and close the   table.

Create   a new query using Design view. From the Drivers table, add the Class field.   Save the query as Driver Class_Delete.

Change   the query type to Delete and set the criteria to delete drivers whose class   is Special. Run the query (one record will be   deleted). Save and close the query. View the changes in the Drivers table and   close the table.

Create   a new query using Design view. From the Insurance table, add the DriverID,   AutoType, AutoYear, and TagID fields (in that order). Save the query as Auto Year_Parameter.

Set   the criteria in the Auto Year field to display the prompt as Enter the auto year: and run the query. In the prompt,   enter 2007 and click OK to view the results (two   records). Save and close the query.

Use   the Analyze Performance tool to analyze the Drivers table. Note the idea to   change the data type of the Weight field from Short Text to Long Integer. In   the Drivers table, set the data type of the Weight field to Number (Long   Integer), and save and close the table.

Create   a Navigation form based on the Vertical Tabs, Left template. Drag and drop   the Drivers form onto the first tab of the form. Drop the Insurance form onto   the second tab.

Drag   and drop the Drivers report onto the third tab of the Navigation form. View   the form in Form view, click each of the tabs, and then save the form as Navigator. Close the form.

Open   the Drivers report in Design view. Modify the record source of the report   using a SQL statement to select all Drivers   records with a Class   of Adult. Print Preview the report (eight   records will display). Save and close the report.

Open   the Drivers form in Design view, click to add a command button at the   intersection of the 6-inch mark on the horizontal ruler and the 3-inch mark   on the vertical ruler.

Set   the command button to open the report named Drivers. Use the default picture   as the button. Set the name and the caption properties of the button to Open Drivers Report. Save the form. View the form in Form   view, and click the command button.

Close   all database objects, close the database, and then exit Access. Submit the   database as directed.
