#GO19 AC CH01 GRADER 1G_HW – College Construction 1.0
Project Description:
In this project, you will create database objects to track the construction projects and the events related to the projects at a college. You will create a table and import data from Excel to create a second table. You will use a database template to enter data into the Events table. You will create a simple query, a form, and a report.
Start Access. Open the file Student_Access_1G_College_Construction_HW.accdb downloaded with this project. Close the Event List multiple-items form that automatically opened. Open the Navigation Pane.
In Datasheet view, create a new table. Beginning in the second column of the table and using the data type of Short Text, create the Building Project, Site, and Contractor fields (in that order). In the fifth column, using the Currency data type, create the Budget Amount field.
Change the data type of the ID field to Short Text, rename the ID field to Project ID and change the Field Size to 5
Starting in the Project ID field, add the following three records to the new table:
P-356
Student Center, 3-story
Northeast Campus
RR Construction
61450000
P-823
Student Center, 2-story
Southeast Campus
RR Construction
41960000
P-157
Health Professions Center
Northwest Campus
Marshall Ellis Construction
42630000
Save the table as 1G Projects, and then close the table.
Append the records from the downloaded Excel file a01G_Projects.xlsx to the 1G Projects table.
In the Navigation Pane, organize the objects by Tables and Related Views. Open the 1G Projects table (the table has eight records). Close the Navigation Pane.

Switch to Datasheet view, apply Best Fit to all of the fields in the table, save the table, and then close the table.
Import the records from the downloaded Excel file a01G_Contractors.xlsx into the database as a new table named 1G Contractors. Designate the first row as column headings and the CO ID field as the primary key.
Open the 1G Contractors table in Datasheet view (the table has four records). Apply Best Fit to all of the fields in the table, save the table, and then close the table.
Based on your 1G Projects table, use the Query Wizard to create a simple query. Add the Site, Building Project, and Budget Amount fields (in that order). Keep the default name of 1G Projects Query, click Finish to display the query results, and then close the query.
Based on your 1G Projects table, use the Form tool to create a form for the table. Save the form as 1G Project Form, display the form in Form view, and then close the form.
Based on your 1G Projects table, use the Report tool to create a report. Delete the Budget Amount field from the report. Save the report as 1G Projects Report.
Sort the Building Project field in ascending order. Set the width of the Building Project, Site, and Contractor fields to 2 inches. Delete the page number from the report, save the report, and then close the report.
