GO16_AC_CH01_GRADER_1F_AS – Literary Festival Events

 

Project Description:

In this project, you will use a database template and create database objects to track events for the Literary Festival at a college. You will enter records into the Events table using a multiple-items form and a single-items form. You will append data from Excel to the Events table. You will create a second table in the database that tracks contact information for the festival events.

In   the Event List multiple-items form that opened automatically, in the new   record row, enter the following two records (the Start Time and End Time data   will reformat automatically):

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 Campus, Last Name,   First Name, Phone Number,   and Email Address fields (in that order).
 

For   the ID field, change the data type to Short Text and rename the field to Contact ID.

 

Starting   in the Contact ID field, add the following two records to the new table:

  C-02|Southeast|Snyder|Amanda|(512) 555-8391|asnyder@tlcc.edu
