In this project, you will create database objects to track the inventory of new computer parts used by the Computer Club. You will create a table and import data from Excel to create a second table. You will create a simple query, a form, and a report.

Steps to Perform:

  1. Start Access. Open the downloaded file named Student_Access_1E_AS_Computer_Club.accdb, enable content, and open the Inventory table.
  2. In the Inventory table, starting from the second column, create the fields: Part (Short Text), Room (Short Text), Cabinet Location (Short Text), Vendor ID (Short Text), Price (Currency), Quantity in Stock (Number). Change the ID field to Short Text, rename it to Part ID, and save the table. Add three specific records to the Inventory table and close it.
  3. Import data from the Excel file a01E_Parts_Inventory.xlsx into the Inventory table, then switch to Design view, delete the Room field, modify Part to a description and set its size to 50, change Part ID size to 4, then save. Switch to Datasheet view, apply Best Fit, save, and close.
  4. Import data from a01E_Vendors.xlsx to create a new table named Vendors, set the first row as headers, and make Vendor ID the primary key. In Design view, edit the State field to a 2-character size, change Vendor ID size to 5, then save. Adjust the table view, apply Best Fit, save, and close.
  5. Use Query Wizard to create a simple query from Inventory, selecting Part, Cabinet Location, and Quantity in Stock, and name it Inventory Query. Save and close.
  6. Create a form from the Vendors table named Vendor Form, display in Form view, and close.
  7. Create a report from your Inventory table, delete Vendor ID and Price fields, save as Inventory Report, sort Part in ascending order, set specific field widths, delete page number, save, and close.
  8. Close all objects, exit Access, and submit the database.

The comprehensive process outlined for creating and managing a database in Microsoft Access 2019 provides a foundational understanding of how to effectively organize, input, and present data relevant to inventory and vendor management within a specific organizational context such as a computer club. This process emphasizes the importance of data integrity, proper field design, and user-friendly data retrieval methods that facilitate efficient data analysis and decision-making.

Initially, establishing a well-structured Inventory table ensures accurate tracking of hardware components. Starting with creating specific fields such as Part ID, Part, Room, Cabinet Location, Vendor ID, Price, and Quantity in Stock, aligns with best practices in database normalization, which minimizes data redundancy and enhances data consistency. Changing data types appropriately—for example, setting Part ID to Short Text and Price to Currency—ensures that data entry is both constrained and contextually relevant. Importing existing data from Excel files exemplifies the integration capabilities of Access, showcasing how external datasets can be seamlessly incorporated into relational tables, provided they are aligned with the database schema.

Further, modifying table design—such as deleting unneeded fields (e.g., Room) and adjusting field sizes—helps optimize storage and improves data validation. For instance, limiting Part ID to 4 characters prevents inaccuracies, while enlarging description fields to 50 characters ensures clarity in component descriptions. Applying Best Fit in Datasheet view ensures optimal column widths, improving readability and user interaction.

The creation of additional database objects, such as the Vendors table, query, form, and report, demonstrates the versatility of Access for various data presentation and analysis tasks. Building a Vendors table with designated primary keys and appropriate field sizes enhances referential integrity. The query, constructed via wizard, facilitates quick insights into inventory status by selecting relevant fields, thereby simplifying complex data analysis. The Vendor Form humanizes data entry and review processes, allowing users to interact with vendor information intuitively. Meanwhile, reporting features enable the generation of customized reports that are sortable and formatted for presentation, assisting in inventory assessment and resource planning.

Overall, this project encapsulates core database management principles, including data organization, import/export, querying, form creation, and reporting. These skills are essential for constructing efficient, scalable databases that support operational needs, facilitate data-driven decision-making, and improve organizational workflows. Mastery of these techniques prepares users to leverage Access for broader applications in business, education, and other data-intensive fields.
