Project 2 The Bookstore

Build a database using the attached data. Name the database using your full name: Sample: James Smith
Book Sellers.
Take care to correctly define your tables while choosing correct data types, data sizes and attribute
names. Properly designate Primary Keys. Remember to rename your database using your full name and
the words "Book Sellers".
Email your completed work to me at kreaves@highpoint.edu. Make sure your full name is included in
both the email subject and the name of your database.
You must understand how to use the tools to obtain the proper results you will not be able to build the
report I have asked for without first building a query to manipulate the data. This may be the case for
other requirements such as the forms.
Problem solving hints: The failure of objects (such as queries and reports) that do not work may be caused by
incorrect data, incorrect table construction, incorrect or missing primary keys or a missing unbounded object
Grading standards: Consider ergonomic factors in the design of your forms and reports. The database must
work but it must also be comfortable and convenient to use. Follow these instructions carefully. You can lose
points for small details such as failing to correctly name your email subject, failing to summarize data, failing to
select the correct datatype.
Minimum requirements:


Build the tables
Build a form that will display the name of the author and show the name of the books written by each
author in a sub-form.
o List the name of the publisher for each book.
o The main form must have at least two functional command buttons.
o The sub-form must change each time you press a command button to change the main form
record.
Note: Take great care with this requirement to ensure that your database will fit on a diskette in the
event you cannot attach the database project to an email for forwarding to me.
o


Include a title in the form that indicates what the form does.
Build a report that lists the books, number of units-on-hand, and book price and total value of book
inventory at each branch store. This will require a query with an expression to multiply the number of
books in stock at each store by the price of the book and then a grand total.
Build switchboards to drive your database.
o Include necessary macros.
o Include a logo, the name of your company and your name in a professional appearance on the
switchboard page.
Extra Point: (value 10 points) Create a report that will serve an invoice for book purchases. The report must
list book titles purchased, purchase date, and retail price. The report must then total the amount purchased and
add NC sales tax (6%) with a new total that includes sales tax. The task may require one or more queries to
complete the task.
