You can follow the following procedures to accomplish your homework. You will have to submit your work
in Bb, as LFCC email will not accept Access databases due to security risk.
1. Database design
This database contains three tables: tblStudent, tblCourse, and tblStudentCourse. tblStudent(StudentID,
Sname, GPA)
tblCourse(CourseID, CourseTitle, CreditHour, Description)
tblStudentCourse(StudentID, CourseID, DateTaken, Status)
2) In the database, you will see “Table1”, which is the default name created by Access. The datasheet
view of “Table1” is on the right hand side of the database. Right click “Table1” on the top of the datasheet
view and choose “Design View”. In the pop up window, rename the table as “tblStudent”.
3) Input the field name and choose the data type as shown in Figure 1 above.
4) Set the first field “StudentID” as the “primary key” by right clicking the very beginning of the first
row. Now, the design of the table “tblStudent” is completed.
5) To create other two tables “tblCourse” and “tblStudentCourse”, go to the top menu and click
“Create” and then “Table”, you will see a new table named “Table1”. Repeat the procedures of b) and input
the field names and data types as indicated in Figure 2 and 3.

9. Query tables
(1) Query manually
Click “Create” menu, you will see several options to create a query. We will use “Query design”.
When the “Show Table” box is popped up, add all the tables. Drag the data fields you need from tables to the
query layout area where the tables are shown. Click “Run”, you will get a query table. In your assignment,
you list StudentID, SName, GPA, and CourseTitle; and name your query as qryStudentCourse.
