IMPORTING TABLES AND MODIFYING TABLES AND TABLE PROPERTIES

      GETTING STARTED

·               Open the file NP_AC19_2b_FirstLastName_1.accdb, available for download from the SAM website.

·               Save the file as NP_AC19_2b_FirstLastName_2.accdb by changing the “1” to a “2”.

o      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.

·               To complete this SAM Project, you will also need to download and save the following data files from the SAM website onto your computer:

o      Support_AC19_2b_Grants.xlsx

o      Support_AC19_2b_TeachingAssistants.xlsx

·               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

1.        You are a graduate teaching assistant for Ridgedale College, a private college in the Midwest. To help the college better manage their course scheduling, you have created an Access database and are working on the tables and table relationships.

Some of the data that you need for the Ridgedale College database is currently stored in Excel workbooks. Use the Import Spreadsheet Wizard to import the data from the Support_AC19_2b_TeachingAssistants.xlsx support file and append it to the TeachingAssistants table. Do not analyze the table after importing the data and do not save the import steps. Open the TeachingAssistants table in Datasheet View as shown in Figure 1. Close the TeachingAssistants table.
