CREATING reports and forms

GETTING STARTED

Open the file SC_AC16_4a_FirstLastName_1.accdb, available for download from the SAM website.

Save the file as SC_AC16_4a_FirstLastName_2.accdb by changing the “1” to a “2”.

· If you do not see the .accdb file extension in the Save As dialog box, do not type it. The program will add the file extension for you automatically.

Open the _GradingInfoTable table and ensure that your first and last name is displayed as the first record in the table. If the table does not contain your name, delete the file and download a new copy from the SAM website.

PROJECT STEPS

Open the Basic Billboards List report in Layout View. Group the report by the State field, and then sort the report by the BillboardID field in ascending order. Do not add any additional grouping or sorting options to the report. Close the Group, Sort & Total pane. (Hint: Click the Group & Sort button.) Save and close the Basic Billboards List report.

Modify the Advertiser Financial Report to match Figure 1 on the following page by performing the following tasks:

a. Open the Advertiser Financial Report in Layout View.

b. Sum the values in the Amount Paid column and the Current Due column for each state’s advertisers and for all advertisers.

c. Switch to Print Preview to view the report and to check that the values in the subtotal control and the total control are displayed completely.

d. Return to Layout View and, if necessary, expand the size of the subtotal control and the total control so that they are displayed completely.

Save the report without closing it.

With the Advertiser Financial Report still open in Layout View, apply conditional formatting to the Current Due column. If the amount currently due is greater than $6,000, display the value in bold, Green font (7th column, 1st row of the Standard Colors palette).

Save the report again, and then close it.
