Assignment Four—Microsoft Access 2013
After bragging to your friends how well you know Microsoft Office 2013 they asked you to help them create a database
using Microsoft Access. Specifically, you are to construct a relational database using Microsoft Access 2013 that will
generate a report that alphabetically lists the students within each concentration area in the College of Business. You
should group by concentration and then sort by Last Name and then First Name. To generate this report you will need
to create an Access database.
First, name it using your last name and last four digits of your student Banner ID. For example: Ms. Helena
Hanbaskett whose Banner ID is B00001234 would name her new database file “hanbaskett1234 .accdb”.
Then, create two tables (one for students and one for departments), create the relationship between the two tables,
copy data from the provided Excel spreadsheets, enter additional data directly into the Student table, and create a
query to find the information needed in the database. Your report will then be created based on this query. You can
use the Report Wizard to create the report.
