Open the database file NP_AC16_2a _FirstLastName_ 1.accdb obtained from the SAM website. Save the file with the name NP_AC16_2a_ FirstLastName _2.accdb, ensuring the .accdb extension is correctly added by the program. Download and import supplementary support files: Support_NP_AC16_2a_Clients.accdb, Support_NP_AC16_2a_Location.txt, and Support_NP_AC16_2a_Billing.xlsx from the SAM website.

Verify that your first and last name appear on the first record of the _GradingInfoTable. If your name is absent, re-download and replace the file.

Your task involves updating and creating database records and relationships for Healthy Myles Fitness Center. Open the tblTrainer table in Design View; set the TrainerID field as the primary key and configure the given field properties. Add a new Yes/No field named Minors after Interests with specified properties and delete the College field. Save changes.

Switch to Datasheet View, reposition Interests to the left of HireDate, and update specific trainers (Randy Lee, Raj Patel, Carson Garner) to accept minors. Save and close the table.

Create a new table named tblClient by importing its structure from the support database. In Design View, set the primary key on ClientID, and apply the specified field properties. Populate tblClient with listed records, then close the table.

Import location data from the text file Support_NP_AC16_2a_Location.txt into the tblLocation table, choosing to append records and using comma-delimited data. Confirm the import in Datasheet View, then close.

Import billing data from the Excel file Support_NP_AC16_2a_Billing.xlsx into tblBilling, selecting Sheet1 and appending records. Verify data import and close the table.

Add the tblTrainer, tblBilling, and tblClient tables to the Relationships window. Define one-to-many relationships: TrainerID (tblTrainer to tblBilling) and ClientID (tblClient to tblBilling), enforcing referential integrity and cascade updates. Save and close the Relationships window.

Finally, compact and repair the database, close it, and exit Microsoft Access. Follow the SAM website instructions for submitting the completed project.

In this project, the primary objective is to efficiently organize and update data related to the operations of Healthy Myles Fitness Center within a Microsoft Access database. This involved manipulating existing tables, establishing relationships, importing external data, and ensuring data integrity. The process begins with opening the provided database file, maintaining proper version control by saving it under a new name, and importing supplementary files that contain client, location, and billing information. Verifying the inclusion of personal details ensures the correct setup for subsequent data management activities.

A significant part of the task involved updating the trainer records. By switching to Design View, the TrainerID field was designated as the primary key, a fundamental step to maintain unique records. The trainer table was then customized by adding a new Yes/No field named Minors, to indicate whether trainers accept clients under 18. The Interests field was repositioned for clarity, and the College field was removed to better reflect current data requirements. These modifications enhance the usability of the trainer database, facilitating more efficient queries and reports.

The process then moved to populating the client data. A new table, tblClient, was efficiently created by importing its structure from an existing support database. The table’s fields were configured to enforce data consistency, with primary keys assigned and properties set according to specifications. The manual addition of sample client records provided the initial dataset for managing client information. These steps are critical for establishing a reliable and easy-to-maintain client database.

In addition, external data integration played a vital role. Location data from a text file was imported as delimited data, which is essential for mapping membership or facility locations. Similarly, billing data from an Excel spreadsheet was appended to the existing billing table, consolidating financial transactions for streamlined reporting and analysis. These import procedures underscore the importance of accurate data integration from multiple sources.

Establishing relationships among tables was the next crucial step. By creating one-to-many relationships with enforce referential integrity and cascade updates, the database ensures consistency and integrity across related data. The relationship between trainers and billing records, and clients and billing records, enables comprehensive data retrieval and reporting capabilities essential for operational oversight.

Upon completing these modifications, the database was tested and verified through data views. The relationships were saved, and the database was then optimized by compacting and repairing, a standard best practice to maintain database performance. Concluding the project, the database was closed, and instructions were followed to submit the work for assessment, ensuring a complete and properly functioning data system.
