Open the file named exploring_a07_grader_h2_Rewards.accdb.02Select the Members table, and create a form using the Form tool. Save the form as Maintain Members. Switch to Design view. Change the State text box to a combo box. Change the Row Source to States. Delete the form logo and the Label control (containing the word Members) from the Form Header section. Insert an Image control in the upper-left corner of the Form Header section. Insert the downloaded a07m1Logo.png file. To insert an image, on the Form Design Tools Design tab, in the Controls group, click the Image control. Change the background color of the Detail section to the orange color found in the first row (Orange, Accent 6). Select all the labels in the Detail section by drawing a box around them. Change the font color of the labels to Black, Text 1.0. Change the border width of the labels to 4 pt and the border color to Blue, Accent 1 (fifth column, first row). To change the border settings, on the Form Design Tools Format tab, use the tools in the Control Formatting group. Switch to Form view. Verify the tab order does not work as expected by pressing TAB to visit each field (State comes before City). Correct the tab order. Save and close the form. To change the tab order, on the Design tab, in the Tools group, click Tab Order. Open the Members By State report in Design view. Add a formula in the Time as Member box (which currently displays Unbound) to determine the number of years they have been a member. Use #12/31/2017# as the current date (recall dates must be surrounded by # signs), subtract the MemberSince field, and divide the result by 365. Change the format of the using the Property Sheet to Standard format with 1 decimal place. To format the field, on the Design tab, in the Tools group, click Property Sheet. Add grouping by the State field. Remove the State label from the Page Header section. Switch to Report view. Ensure the values displayed make sense. For example, assuming a current date of 12/31/2017, member Melissa Remaklus has been a member since 11/8/2006, so she has been a member for slightly more than 11 years. Also notice after the members from Alaska (AK) there is a break before the members from Arizona (AZ) due to the grouping you added. Save and close the report. Close the database, and submit the file as instructed.

The task involves a series of steps to modify and enhance a Microsoft Access database to better manage and analyze membership data. Initially, the focus is on creating and customizing a form linked to the Members table. This includes switching to design view, converting a text box to a combo box with a specific row source, and customizing its appearance and layout by removing unnecessary elements, inserting an image, and formatting labels. These modifications aim to improve data entry efficiency and aesthetic consistency.

Transforming the form in this manner facilitates easier navigation and more intuitive data input. Changing the State textbox to a combo box with a predefined list (States) limits user error and standardizes data entry for statewide information. Removing the form logo and labeling controls declutters the interface, while inserting a logo image personalizes and brands the form. Adjusting the background color to a specific orange tone and formatting the labels’ font and border attributes enhances visual clarity and professionalism.

Additionally, correcting the tab order ensures a logical flow during data entry, which is crucial for maintaining data integrity and user efficiency. Confirming the tab sequence aligns with the natural progression of fields avoids confusion and enhances user experience. The next phase involves editing a report that summarizes membership data by state. Here, adding a calculated field to determine the duration of membership in years provides valuable insights, especially when used for analyzing membership longevity.

By embedding a formula that subtracts the MemberSince date from a fixed current date and dividing by 365, the report dynamically computes each member's duration. Formatting this calculated field with one decimal place ensures clarity and neatness. The report is then grouped by State, allowing for segmented analysis that highlights state-specific trends. Removing the State label from the Page Header further tidies the report’s appearance.

Viewing the report in report view mode confirms that the grouping and calculations display correctly and make logical sense—for instance, the duration calculation matches real-world expectations for specific members. The visual grouping by State helps identify regional differences in membership tenure, which can inform promotional or retention strategies.

Finally, saving all changes and closing the database completes the task. These modifications collectively optimize the database’s usability, data consistency, and analytical capability, providing a more efficient tool for managing and examining membership data across states. Such enhancements support organizational goals of streamlined data management and informed decision-making based on accurate, well-presented information.
