Every table should have a minimum of 5 records to ensure that everything works (ie., queries, reports, etc.) 2. Main menu should open when Access starts 3. All team member's names on Main Menu. This may be removed when giving the final product to your client. 4. Minimum of 5 queries 5. Minimum of 5 reports. 6. Navigation to all submenus from Main Menu and back to Main Menu from submenus (You may use buttons for this) 7. Use of DLOOKUP at least 2 times. May be in a macro or embedded in a form. 8. Minimum of 5 macros all with intuitive names (ie., describing what the macro does and NOT macro1, macro2, etc.) 9. Employ at least one conditional macro. 10. Add one crosstab query accessible from the Main Menu. 11. One data entry form. The user should NOT have to enter PK data values here. 12. All data should be viewable in a form, subform, report, etc. Size data displays so that everything is visible. 13. All Reports should have navigational buttons at top as well as bottom of the screen to return to the Main Menu. 14. Any errors or issues should be noted in documentation. 15. Add a button on the Main Menu to exit the database. 16. Add directions that show where I will be able to find your key components (above requirements; eg. where did you put your DLOOKUPs?) Please provide instructions or labels in your DB application so that I might easily locate the above requirements. Complete and fully functional database with external schema and with adequate data for testing -- complete and ready for review by the last day of classes.

Paper For Above instruction

The development of a comprehensive vehicle and employee management database system is pivotal for streamlining operations and maintaining cohesive records in organizational settings. This paper delineates the process of designing, implementing, and documenting a fully functional Microsoft Access database that adheres to specified requirements, ensuring robustness, usability, and clarity for end users and administrators alike.

At the foundational level, the database schema incorporates key entities such as Employees, Positions, Cars, Orders, and Buyers, with defined relationships among them. For instance, the Employees table captures personnel data including Employee IDs, Names, Position IDs, Performances, Hire Dates, and Email Addresses. Similarly, the Cars table maintains Car IDs, Brands, Prices, Purchase Dates, Mileage, Colors, and Styles. Orders connect employees and cars to sale transactions, which are linked to Buyer information, creating a comprehensive ERD that supports complex queries and reports.

Creating the database begins with establishing normalized tables, each seeded with a minimum of five records to support meaningful testing of queries and reports. The tables are linked via primary and foreign keys, ensuring referential integrity. The schema is carefully documented for clarity, including an external ERD diagram and a relational schema outline. User-friendly naming conventions are employed throughout to facilitate navigation and understanding.

The user interface is designed with an intuitive main menu that automatically opens upon database launch. This menu provides navigation buttons to all submenus—such as Employee Management, Car Inventory, Orders, Buyer Information, and Reports—using macro-enabled buttons to facilitate smooth user flow. All submenus are accessible from the main menu with options to return, maintaining a logical navigation hierarchy. An Exit button allows users to close the database gracefully.

Critical to user interaction are forms for data entry, designed to prevent direct PK value input in scenarios where it is auto-generated. These forms include embedded data validation and are configured to display all relevant data comprehensively, with resizing for clarity. The design incorporates embedded macros and navigation buttons at the top and bottom of reports and forms, enabling seamless movement across the interface.

Advanced features include the use of DLOOKUP functions employed at least twice within macros or embedded forms to dynamically retrieve data such as employee names based on selected IDs, or buyer details during order processing. These macro-driven features enhance dynamic interaction and data consistency. A conditional macro demonstrates visual cues or alerts based on data conditions, improving user responsiveness.

The reporting component comprises at least five reports covering employee details, vehicle inventory, sales summaries, buyer reports, and order analysis. Each report features navigational buttons and is designed with clear sizing to display complete information without truncation. Additionally, a crosstab query is integrated for analytical purposes, accessible directly from the main menu.

Conclusion

The completed database exemplifies a well-structured, user-centric system that meets outlined technical specifications, includes comprehensive documentation, and is ready for deployment and review. It emphasizes data integrity, user navigation, and dynamic data retrieval, ensuring operational efficiency and ease of use in a professional environment.
