Data Management Learning Unit: Access Activity

Microsoft Access: Create a Database – Forms, Reports, and Queries

In this exercise, you will create a database that includes a table, form, report, and queries

The College for Advanced Studies seeks to provide a quality education to each of its students.
In order to do this, the college administration needs an efficient way to keep track of the vast amounts
of information associated with each student served. A college administrator has asked you to create and
update a database to help with this task.

Activity Instructions:
1. Create a New blank database

2. Name the Access file as your last name in all lowercase letters.
(For example, Janet Learner would save her file as “learner.accdb”)
(Be sure to name the database before hitting the “Create” button)

3. In Design View, create a table using the structure shown below:


a. Name the table: Student List
b. Set the “Student #” field as the Primary Key

Field Name Data Type Field Size Other field properties


Student # Short Text 5
(Primary Key)
Last Name Short Text Default
First Name Short Text Default
Address Short Text Default
City Short Text Default
State Short Text 2 Format: Upper case
Default value: IL
Zip Code Short Text 5
Balance Currency Default
First Term Attended Short Text 4 Format: Upper case

4. In Datasheet View, add the data below to the “Student List” table:
Note: For “First Term Attended” the last two characters are numbers, not letters. For example,
‘SP01’ is an abbreviation of “Spring 2001.” Thus the ‘01’ should both be numbers – not the letter
“O” and number “1.”
