Lab 10: Due date: Tuesday, November 14

To hand in: · A diskette containing the modified MallJobs database. · A printout of the Job table datasheet.

Download the following databases: MallJobs.mdb, Openings.mdb. For this lab, you are required to do Case 1 assignment, located on page AC 2. of the Tutorial 2 part of the Access textbook ( or as below! )

  1. Start access and open the MallJobs database.
  2. Create a table using the design shown below.
  3. Specify Job as the primary key.
  4. Save the table as Jobs.
  5. Add jobs records as shown below to the table.
  6. Open the Openings database.
  7. The CurrentJobs table in Openings database has the same structure as the Jobs table.
  8. Copy all the records from the Current Jobs table in the Openings database to the end of your Jobs table.
  1. Modify the structure of the Jobs table by completing the following: a. Delete the Experience Req field. b. Move the hours / week field so that it follows the Position field.
  2. Resize all the columns in the Jobs table through the datasheet view by reading how to do it through the Access Help feature.
  3. Update the database as follows by using the Jobs datasheet a. For Job 10048, change the position to clerk and the Hours/Week to 25-35. b. Add a record as follows: i. Job 10034 ii. Store: JB iii. Position: Salesclerk iv. Hours/Week : negotiable. c. Delete the record for Job 10031
  4. Switch to the design view and then switch back to the datasheet view so that the records appear in the sequence of their primary keys.
  5. Print the Job Datasheet.
  6. Save and close the table.
  7. Close MallJobs file and exit Access.
