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:
