Exercise 1 (Chapter 2)

1. Start Access. Open the downloaded Access file named Donor and save it as Donor_LastFirst.
2. Create a new table in Design view using the name Donations. Add the primary key field as DonationID with the Number Data Type and a field size of Long Integer. Add the following field names to the table: DonorID, PlantID, DonationDate, and DonationAmount (in that order).
3. Change the Data Type for the DonorID and PlantID fields to Number. Change the Data Type for the DonationDate field to Date/Time, and then change the Data Type for the DonationAmount field to Currency.
4. View the table in Datasheet view, save the table, and then add the following records to the Donations table:
   DonationID    DonorID     PlantID       DonationDate         DonationAmount

                 1                 24          15           3/17/2018               120

                 2                  9           11           4/3/2018                   50

                 3                 14            9           4/19/2018                150

5. Import the downloaded Plants.xlsx excel workbook as a new table in the current database. Using the wizard, specify that the first row contains column headings, set the PlantID field to be indexed with no duplicates, and set the PlantID field as the primary key. Import the table with the name Plants and do not save the import steps.
6. View the Plants table in Design view and change the field size for the PlantID field to Long Integer. Save the table. Click Yes in the dialog box indicating that some data may be lost. Close the table.
7. Create a one-to-many relationship between the PlantID field in the Plants table and the PlantID field in the Donations table. Enforce Referential Integrity. Select the option to cascade update the related fields. Save and close the Relationships window.
8. Create a query using the Simple Query Wizard. From the Donations table, add the DonorID and DonationAmount fields (in that order). Ensure the query is a Detail query. Name the query Donations Over 100 and finish the wizard.
1. View the query in Design view, and then set the criteria for the DonationAmount field so that only donations greater than 100 are displayed.
10. Sort the query in ascending order by the DonationAmount field. Save the query. Run the query, and then close the query
11. Create a new query in Design view. Add the Donations, Donors, and Plants tables to the query design window. Close the Show Table dialog box. Add the DonationDate field from the Donations table, the donor’s Lastname, Firstname, and Phone fields from the Donors table (in that order).
50. Add the DonationAmount field from the Donations table after the Phone field, and then add the PlantName field from the Plants table.
1000. Sort the query in descending order by the date of the donation, and then by the last name of the donor in ascending order. Save the query with the name Plant Pickup List, and then run the query. Close the query.
14. Copy the Plant Pickup List query, and paste it using ENewsletter as the query name.
15. Open the ENewsletter query in Design view and delete the DonationDate column. Add the ENewsletter field to the first column of the design grid and set it to sort in ascending order, so that the query sorts first by ENewsletter and then by LastName. Run, save, and close the query.
16. Close all database objects. Close the database and then exit Access. Submit the database as directed.
