Project Description:
You work as a database administrator at the Paterson Credit Union. You are modifying a database to add validation, lookup fields, and an input mask. You will also modify queries to take advantage of advanced functions and features.
Instructions:
For the purpose of grading the project you are required to perform the following tasks:
Step Instructions Points Possible
1 Start Access. Open the file named exploring_a05_grader_a1_Bank.accdb. 0
2 Use Design view to create a new table. Add AccountType as the first field name, with data type Short Text and field size 10. Ensure AccountType is set as the primary key. Save the table and name it AccountTypes. Add three records: Platinum, Silver, and Gold. Close the table. 4
3 Open the Customers table in Design view. Set the PhoneNumber and AccountType fields to Required. Save the table. Close the table. 6
4 Open the Loans table in Design view. Establish a validation rule for the InterestRate field that requires the value to be greater than or equal to 2.5 but less than or equal to 10. Create validation text for the InterestRate: Value must be between 2.5 and 10. Save the table. Change the InterestRate in the first record to 2. The validation text appears. Press Esc to restore the original value. Close the Loans table. 8
5 Open the Customers table in Design view. Add a phone number input mask for the PhoneNumber field, storing the symbols with the data. 16
6 Change the Data Type of the AccountType field to Lookup Wizard. Use the AccountTypes table for the values in the lookup field, select the AccountType field from the table, accept the default sort, accept default column widths, and then accept the default name AccountType. Save the table. Switch to Datasheet view. 8
7 Change the account type to Platinum in the first record and click the second record. Close the table. 2
8 Open the Customer Loans Parameter query in Design view. Add criteria for the Amount field. The user should be prompted to Enter Minimum Loan Amount. The query should display all results that greater than or equal to the threshold. Run the query. Enter 400000 when prompted to Enter Minimum Loan Amount. You should have two results. Save and close the query. 16
9 Open the Missing Addresses query in Design view. Add a new column to determine if a customer does not have an address on file. If the customer’s Address is null, it should display Missing. If not, it should display nothing. Name the column AddressPresent. Add criteria of Missing to the column you just created, so only the customers missing an address display. Move the AddressPresent field so it appears between PhoneNumber and Address. Run the query. Ensure only customers with null Address fields display. Save and close the query. 10

Access Chapter 3: Assessment Project 1
Retirement Accounts
Project Description:
One-Stop Finance is a company that works with Clients in all
areas of finance. They assist with banking, financial planning,
mortgages, stock, insurance, retirement counseling, and debt
consolidation. Cala Hamieh, one of the senior planners for the
company, is hoping to extract information from the database.
The company has a large database with hundreds of thousands
of accounts, but to allow you to rapidly test your queries, you
have created a smaller version of the database with a small
amount of clients. Once you are confident your queries work,
you can import them in to the main Access database.
Instructions:
For the purpose of grading the project you are required to
perform the following tasks:
Step Instructions Points Possible
1 Start Access. Open the downloaded Access file named
exploring_a03_Grader_a1. 0
2 Create a query using Query Design. From the Clients
table, display the client’s first and last name. From the
Accounts table, select the Savings balance and account open
date. Sort the query by Savings balance in descending order. 5
3 Add a calculated field named AccountTime that calculates
the number of days each client’s accounts have been open.
Assume today’s date is 12/31/2017. Recall dates must be
enclosed in # to denote to Access it is a date. Format the results
in General Number format. Save the query as Account
Longevity, and close the query. 10
4 Create a query using Query Design. From the Clients table,
22. display the client first name and last name. From the Accounts
table, select the Savings balance. 10
5 Add appropriate grouping so the client’s total retirement
account balances are displayed. Add a sort so the highest total
account balances are displayed first. 10
6 Switch to Datasheet view. Add a totals row displaying the
count of the clients and the average of total account balances.
Save the query as Total Balances By Client, and close the
query. 10
7 Create a copy of the Total Balances By Client query. Name
the query Total Balances By State. Open the query in Design
view and remove the client name from the query. Add grouping
by the client’s state. 10
8 Sort by the client’s state in Ascending order. Add criteria
so clients with retirement account balances of $10,000 or more
are factored in to the query. Save and close the query. 10
9 Create a new query using Query Design. From the Clients
table, select the client first name, last name, and state. From the
Accounts table, select the Savings Balance. Add criteria so only
customers with balances under $15,000 are displayed. 10
10 Add a new field using the Expression Builder named
LoanPayment. Insert the PMT function to determine the
monthly payment for a 2-year loan, paid monthly, with a 5%
yearly interest rate. The present value is 25000 minus the
balance. For example, if you took out a 25000 loan and had
5000 in savings, your present value would be 20000. Ensure the
number displays as a positive number. 15
11 Change the format of the LoanPayment field to Currency.
Change the caption to Loan Payment. Save the query as
Monthly Loan Payments and close the query. 10
12 Close all database objects. Close the database and then exit
Access. Submit the database as directed. 0
