Bookstore Inventory Case MyITLab MS-Access
Project Description:
In the following project, you will open a database containing the inventory of a bookstore, create a new table in which to store publisher information, add records, and then sort the table. You add a record using a form and print a report. You apply a filter by selection to a query and a filter by form to a table and save the results for both filters.
Instructions:
For the purpose of grading the project you are required to perform the following tasks:
| Step | Instructions | Points Possible | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 1 | Start Access. Open the downloaded Access file named exploring_a01_grader_h1. | 0 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2 | Create a new table in Design view. Add the following field names to the table: PubID, PubName, PubAddress, PubCity, PubState, and PubZIP (in that order). Accept Short Text as the data type for all fields.
Hint: Before moving on, check that no field within this table has a datatype of autonumber – as the instructions clearly state that all fields should be Short Text. |
12 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 3 | Set the PubID field as the primary key of the new table. Save the table using the name Publishers and then view the table in Datasheet view. | 8 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 4 | Add the following records to the Publishers table:
Close the table. |
12 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 5 | Open the Books table and create a new record: AuthorCode: 15 Title: The Innocence Game ISBN: 0-307-96125-7 PubID: KN PublDate: 2013 Price: 24.95 StockAmt: 250 |
12 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 6 | Sort the records in the Books table by the PublDate field in descending order. Save and close the table. | 4 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 7 | Open the Maintain Authors form. In record 2 (for Keith Mulbery, AuthorID 12), add a new title to the subform: Title: Computer Wisdom III ISBN: 0-684-80417-5 PubID: PH PubDate: 2014 Price: 32 StockAmt: 42Hint: Please understand that there are two navigation bars on this form (please visually locate them now, so the next point makes sense). To navigate between records of the outer form (i.e., which focuses on the Author table), use the navigation bar at the bottom of the form. To navigate the records within the subform (i.e., books table), use the Navigation bar located within the subform. |
12 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 8 | Use the Navigation bar to search for AuthorID 16, and then edit the subform so that the StockAmt is 6 instead of 496 for the book Follow the Stars Home. | 8 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 9 | Open the Publishers, Books, and Authors report and check that the report shows three books listing Keith Mulbery as author. View the layout of the report in Print Preview and then print the report. Open the Publishers, Books, and Authors query. Sort the query by the publisher’s name in ascending order.
Hint: |
6 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 10 | Use filter by selection to show only the books by the author whose first name is Steven. | 8 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 11 | Sort the query by Title in ascending order. Save and close the query. | 6 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 12 | Open the Books table. Use Filter by Form to create a filter that will identify all books published after 2010 with fewer than 100 items in stock. Apply the filter and preview the filtered table. Close the table and save the changes.
Hint: |
12 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 13 | Close all database objects. Close the database and then exit Access. Submit the database as directed. | 0 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Total Points | 100 |

If I have two steps that only have one number difference (ex: Your step 5 PubIdDate is 2013 however mine is 2017), is this a custom order I can make due to my given instructions or can I only take this document?? Please let me know. Thank you.

Hi yes I bought the “answers” and I only got one question of it. I’ve used this before and have had no problem, I’m very upset and would like a refund.
