GO19_AC_CH03_GRADER_3E_HW – Textbook Publishers 1.0

Project Description:

In this project, you will use a database to track textbooks and publishers for science courses. You will create forms, add and delete records by using a form, filter records, and modify a form in Layout view and Design view.

Start Access. Open the file Student_Access_3E_Textbook_Publishers.accdb downloaded with this   project. View the relationship between the 3E Publishers table and the 3E   Science Textbooks table. One publisher can provide many textbooks for science   courses. Close the Relationships window.

Use   the Form tool to create a form based on the 3E Publishers table. Save the   form as 3E Publisher Form   and then display the form in Form view.

Using   the 3E Publisher Form, add the following new record to the underlying 3E   Publishers table:

   Find the record for the Publisher ID of PUB-1006, and then delete the record.   Find the record for the Publisher ID of PUB-1008, and change the Column Size   Width in the Print dialog box to 7.5 inches. Save the form.

Use   the Filter By Form tool to create a filter for the Publisher Form that   displays records with a State of CA Or TX.   After verifying that three records match the filter criteria, toggle the   filter off to display all seven records. Save and close the form.

Use   the Form Wizard to create a form based on the 3E Science Textbooks table. Add   the following fields (in this order) to the form: Course(s), Textbook Name,   Publisher ID, Price Per Book, and # Books. Apply a columnar layout, and name   the form 3E Science Textbook   Form.

With   the 3E Science Textbook Form displayed in Layout view, apply the Stacked   layout to all of the controls. Apply the Ion Boardroom theme to this form   only.

With   the 3E Science Textbook Form displayed in Layout view, select the title—3E Science   Textbook Form. Change the font size to 16, apply bold, and change the   font color to Dark Purple, Text 2 (under Theme Colors, in the fourth column,   the first color). Save the form.

   With the 3E Science Textbook Form displayed in Layout view, from the Field   List pane, add the Textbook ID field to the form directly above the Textbook   Name controls. Close the Field List pane. In the form, move the # Books   controls directly above the Price Per Book controls.

With   the 3E Science Textbook Form displayed in Layout view, display Record 9.   Change the width of the Textbook Name text box control to 4 inches (the widths of all of the text   box controls change). Save the form.

With   the 3E Science Textbook Form displayed in Layout view, select all six text   box controls, and change the background color to Orange, Accent 4, Lighter   80% (under Theme Colors, in the eighth column, the second color).

With   the 3E Science Textbook Form displayed in Layout view, select all six label   controls, and change the font color to Orange, Accent 4, Darker 50% (under   Theme Colors, in the eighth column, the last color). For the same controls,   change the width to 1.75   inches.

With   the 3E Science Textbook Form displayed in Layout view, select the six label   controls and the six text box controls. Change the font size to 12, and change the height to 0.25 inch. Save the form.

With   the 3E Science Textbook Form displayed in Design view, change the height of   the Form Footer section to 0.5 inch. Add a label control to the Form Footer   section that displays Texas Lakes Science   Books.

Still   in Design view and with the label control in the Form Footer section   selected, change the font color to Orange, Accent 4, Darker 50% (under Theme   Colors, in the eighth column, the last color). Apply bold to the label   control and change the width to 2.2   inches. For the same label control, set the Top property to 0.1 inch and the Left property to 1.95 inches. Close the Property Sheet, save   the form, and then close the form.

Save   and close the database, and then submit for grading.
