The document outlines a project using Microsoft Access, Excel, Word, and PowerPoint to create a database, workbook, flyer, and presentation for a boat dealership. It details steps for setting up tables, queries, forms, and reports in Access, creating a workbook with inventory and financing information in Excel, designing a promotional flyer in Word, and developing a continuous presentation in PowerPoint. Each part emphasizes formatting, data organization, and professional presentation standards.

1. Part 1 - Microsoft Access 2019
Use Access to create a database to store and retrieve
Manufacturer Contact and Inventory information for Rio Salado
Boat and Marine dealership.
Create a
new blank Access database
.
Save the file as
BoatDatabase_MEID.accdb
. Be sure to replace “MEID” in the filename with your actual
MEID.
Structure of the Database
Read the requirements for the database below and understand
how the database should work before you create the design.
Remember to follow the best practices presented in TestOut and
the online lesson content for creating professional Access
databases.
Create the Tables
You will create new tables that contain information about the
Rio Salado Boat and Marine Dealership’s manufacturers and
inventory. When creating fields for your tables, it is important
to break down your data into the smallest chunks you can (
fine data granularity
) to make it easier to extract data from the database later. You
will also need to join the tables on common fields later in the
project. For this project, assume a manufacturer can supply the

2. boat dealership with multiple types of boats for the dealership’s
inventory.
NOTE:
Remember to assign the most appropriate data type to each of
the fields and that one of the fields in each of your tables must
be set as the
Primary Key
. You do not need to enter data records into your tables at this
time; you will create a form later in this project for data entry.
Manufacturer Contact Table
Create a new
table
named
Manufacturer Contact Table
. At a minimum, your table should include the following fields:
Manufacturer ID
Manufacturer (e.g., Bayliner)
Manufacturer Address
Sales Representative Name
Phone Number
Email Address
Inventory Table
Create a new

3. table
named
Inventory Table
. At a minimum, your table should include the following fields:
Inventory ID
Manufacturer ID
Boat Type (e.g., Sailboat)
Model Number
Dealer Cost
MSRP (i.e., Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price)
Quantity in Inventory
Establish Table Relationships
Once the design of the tables has been completed, the next step
is to
establish relationships
between the tables:
Join the Manufacturer Contact Table with the Inventory Table
on common fields.
Enforce referential integrity.
Create a Form

4. Once the tables have been designed and the relationships have
been established, it is time to enter data. Remember that
each field of each record will need to include data
. You will use
one form
to enter and edit data in the two tables.
Create
one form
named
Manufacturer Form
that can be used to enter data into
both
tables.
Use the form to enter a
minimum of four manufacturers
. Include
your name
in one of the records as a Sales Representative for one of the
manufacturers.
Use the form to enter
at least two different boat types
for
each
manufacturer.
Create the Queries
The ability to extract data from one or more tables is one of the
most important functions provided by a database. You will now
design, save, and run queries to retrieve specific information

5. from the two tables.
Inventory Query
Create a query named
Inventory Query
that will
SUM
the Quantity in Inventory by each Manufacturer.
Save
and
run
the query.
Sales Rep Query
Create a query named
Sales Rep Query
that will show the Manufacturers and Sales Representatives
from the Manufacturer Contact Table and
all
the fields from the Inventory Table.
The query must also
sort ascending
the data by Sales Representative Last Name.
Save
and
run
the query.

6. Create a Report
Reports are used to generate printouts from the tables or queries
in a database.
Create a report named
Inventory Report
that lists the items in inventory.
Include the following fields in the report:
Manufacturer
Boat Type
Model Number
MSRP
Quantity in Inventory
Group
the report by Manufacturer.
Format
the report in
Landscape Orientation
so that it fits on one page and all of the fields are fully legible.
After finishing the Report Wizard, remove the
Alternate Row Color

7. from the report.
Add a
Shape Fill
color of your choice, other than the Office Default, to the
Manufacturer rows.
Required Objects
After creating your database, the
BoatDatabase_MEID.accdb
file should contain the following required objects:
Tables
Inventory Table
Manufacturer Contact Table
Relationship
One-To-Many Relationship Type
Form
Manufacturer Form

8. Queries
Inventory Query
Sales Rep Query
Report
Inventory Report
Save
and
close
your BoatDatabase_MEID.accdb file.

Part 2 - Microsoft Excel 2019
Use Excel to create a workbook containing three worksheets.
The Excel workbook will include Rio Salado Boat and Marine
contact information, manufacturer and inventory information,
and financing information which will also be visually depicted
in a chart.
TIP:

9. When working in Excel, remember to use
Font
,
Alignment
, and
Number Formatting
features.
Create a
new blank Excel workbook
.
Save the file as
BoatWorkbook_MEID.xlsx
. Be sure to replace “MEID” in the filename with your actual
MEID.
Structure of the Workbook
Your workbook must contain three worksheets:

contact information and available inventory.

boats financed.

the MSRP’s for each model of boat available.
