1. Introduction to Access 2010
CIS120first.accdb is the
database I am creating.

2. I want you to use
a different
layout to design
the table in
the database.

3. I clicked
on View
and got
prompted
to name
the table.

6. The first field
is idno and
I made the
datatype text
and the field
size 5.

7. The second field
is the empname
and I made it
text and
changed the
field size to 40.

8. The third field on the
record is named
jobcode and it is
a text field that
has a field size of
2 because the code
is only 2 characters.

9. I have set up a
forth field called
numdep which
I am going to
make numeric
and an integer.
This shows the
Data Type choices.

10. Once I pick Data
type of Number
I can chose a type
depending on
the numbers I
want. I will use
integer.

11. Now click on
view and you can
populating the
table with data.
For decimal
numbers I use
single for small
decimals and
double for large
decimals like
salary.

12. I have populated
the table with
data.

13. Now I click on
Create.
Next I click on
Query Design.
A query lets you specify fields and
conditions that you want to use
to access the table. It will return
records that meet the
query criteria.

14. Next I
select
the table by
clicking
on Add.

15. Now you see
the fields in
the table
so you can
select fields
to use in
your query.

16. Click on
datasheet
view to see
results.
I brought down four of the fields by double
clicking on them (you can also drag).
I want to see all IT employees so I put IT in
the criteria line under the jobcode.
IT is in quotes because
it is a string or non-numeric
literal.

17. Logic for query checking
For jobcode = IT
Jobcode
= IT N Y
Display

18. Click on the
design icon
to go back
to design.

20. I named the query
ITemp.

21. The query has been saved

22. Creating another
Query.

23. You can also click on
the arrow and
choose the field.

24. I have now got two conditions in
an AND relationship. The two
conditions are put on the criteria line
and both must be true for the
record to be displayed.

25. LOGIC for two things
in an AND
relationship
Jobcode = IT Y N
Salary < 60000 N Y
Display

26. The results

27. In this example, the criteria is
that numdep is > 3 OR
salary is > Since these
are in an OR relationship, one
criteria goes on the criteria line
and the other criteria goes on
the or line.

28. Logic for two criteria
in an OR
relationship.
numdep > 3 N Y
salary > 55000
Display Y N
Display

29. The criteria is numdep > 3 OR salary > 55000.
The first result has both true.
The second result has just numdep > 3.
The third result has just numdep > 3.
The fourth result has just salary >

30. In this query the jobcode has to be IT and then in
addition either the numdep has to be > 3 or the salary
has to be >
Since the IT has to be true it has to be on both
the criteria line and the or line.
Essentially you now have jobcode IT and numdep > 3
OR jobcode IT and salary >

31. Jobcode has to be IT and then
either numdep has to be > 3 OR
salary has to be >
Jobcode = IT N Y
numdep > 3 N Y
salary > 55000
Display Y N
Display

32. All the records have a jobcode of IT.
The first record is IT and both numdep
> 3 and salary >
The second one is IT and jobcode > 3.
The third one is IT and salary >
