Lab 7 © R. Craig Collins, 2005/16

General Lab Directions
Note: There is not enough time in lecture to cover all the material; read your book BEFORE you begin the lab
Note: Typically labs will require you to invest some time in the lab, outside of class lecture hours

 •Check with your Instructor for due dates 

Complete one of the two options below... I strongly suggest Option #1:

OPTION 1 Update Lab 6 (The easy option)
• Copy your lab 6 folder, rename it lab 7. Rename the database to yourname-lab7.accdb
 • Using your Lab 6 database, apply the following concepts
   • Add at least 5 additional records to each tables, must use the same exact name for both tables

   • When creating queries, remember to open your join query, change view to Design, add your criteria, Run !,
      then save as a new object with a meaningful name
   • Create and save at least ONE new query, demonstrating a logical operator
     ( less than, greater than, equal to) or use one calculation query (see selected help for Lab 7 below) or
   • Create and save at least ONE new query, demonstrating a parameter query ([ ] )
     • make sure each query is saved with a meaningful name (File Save As, save object as, and save the query)
     • Summarize the parts of the book we did not discuss in class.
     • Save the Word document in the lab 7 folder as yourname-lab7.docx
