PROJECT STEPS

Homestead Partners is a company that connects independent home owners with long-

term renters. You work in the Customer Service Department of Homestead Partners as a

data analyst. You are developing an Access database application to help manage and

analyze several types of customer service data, including property and property

manager effectiveness. In this project, you will improve an existing database by creating

and modifying many different types of report controls. You will also format, modify, and

create new reports.

space between the words Manager

and

Scores and bold the title. Right-align the last

names in the first column

Bretz

Report Footer sections.
