Paper For Above instruction

The task involves creating a comprehensive Access database to manage a celebrity auction event, focusing on organizing donated items and celebrity participants effectively. The process begins with setting up a new database, ensuring proper table structures, data accuracy, and relational integrity. Following the creation of two main tables—"Donated Celebrity Items" and "Celebrity Auction Items"—requires careful data entry and deletion of specific records to maintain the dataset's relevance and clarity. Furthermore, adding supplementary records enhances the richness of the database, supporting detailed tracking of items and participants.

The creation of a user-friendly form based on the "Celebrity Auction Items" table facilitates data entry and review, making the management of celebrity bidders and their donated items more efficient. Developing queries utilizing the Wizard simplifies retrieving specific information, like listing all actors involved in the auction, which aids in targeted analysis and reporting. Applying criteria in design view allows for filtering data—such as extracting records with a profession identified as "Actor"—which helps focus reports on specific groups within the database.

Reporting is a crucial step, providing a clear, organized presentation of the donation list, formatted in landscape orientation to ensure readability and professional appearance. This report consolidates key donation information, allowing stakeholders to review the donated items comprehensively. The culmination of these tasks results in a well-structured, functional database that supports effective management of celebrity auction assets, fostering transparency and efficiency.

Proper closure and submission of the database ensure that the work is saved correctly for evaluation, demonstrating mastery of fundamental database operations such as table creation, data management, form development, queries, filtering, and reporting within Microsoft Access.
