Kimberly, a recent college graduate living in Orlando, Florida, spent months earning
money by running errands and completing basic chores for family members and
acquaintances, while looking for full-time employment. As her list of customers
needing such services continued to grow, Kimberly decided to start her own
business. The business, which Kimberly operates completely online from her home,
offers customers a variety of services - from grocery shopping and household chores
to yard work and pet care - on a subscription basis. Clients become members of her
business by choosing the plan that best suits their needs. Each plan provides a
certain number of tasks per month to members, for a specified period of time.
Kimberly wants to use Access to maintain information about the members and the
types of plans offered. Complete the following:
1. Create a new, blank database named
FirstName_LastName_StudentNumber.accdb and save it in the folder where you
are storing your course files.
2. In Datasheet view for the Table1 table, rename the default primary key ID field to
PlanID. Change the data type of the PlanID field to Short Text.
3. Add the following three fields to the new table in the order shown:
PlanDescription (a Short Text field), PlanCost (a Currency field), and FeeWaived
(a Yes/No field). Save the table as Plan.
4. Enter the records shown below in the Plan table. Note: When entering the
PlanCost field values, you do not have to type the dollar signs, commas, or decimal
places; Access will enter them automatically.

5. Kimberly created a database named Program that contains a Service table with
plan data which will be provided by your instructor. The Plan table you created has
the same design as the Service table. Copy all the records from the Service table in
the Program database, paste them at the end of the Plan table in your database,
and then close the table.
6. Use the Simple Query Wizard to create a query that includes the PlanID,
PlanDescription, and PlanCost fields from the Plan table. In the second Simple
Query Wizard dialog box, select the Detail option. (This option appears because the
query includes a Currency field.) Save the query as PlanData, and then close the
query.
7. Use the Form tool to create a form for the Plan table. Save the form as PlanInfo,
and then close it.
8. Use the Report tool to create a report based on the Plan table. In Layout view,
resize the PlanID field so it is slightly wider than the longest entry, which is the field
name in this case. Also, resize the box containing the total amount that appears
below the PlanCost column by clicking the box and then dragging its bottom border
down so that the amount is fully displayed. (The Report Tool calculated this total
automatically.) Display the report in Print Preview; then verify that all the fields are
within the page area and all field values are fully displayed. Save the report as
PlanList, and then close it.
9. Close the Plan table, and then compact and repair your database.
