   Homework #3

  back to class

 

From Chapter 3:

Database Instructions
Ashton James College Continue the example in the book (page 114-164)

Wrap Chapter 2 with these exercises:

Database Instructions
Babbage Bookkeeping ITL 2 (page 110)
Dog Walkers C&P 1 (page 112)
Regional Books C&P 3 (page 112)
Campus Housing C&P 4 (page 112)

And now, for something completely different...

Your final task for homework #3 is to use Access to create 2 web pages: a table and a query. What the heck? Try it:

  •  Go to my main page ( william.krieger.faculty.noctrl.edu/ ), click on my "Dry Technical Notes" and then DTN #2 on creating your own web page. Read that guy and follow the instructions on getting your web page up and running.
  •  Once you have a web page up, you need to save one of your reports in HTML, the language of the web.

You can create your web pages using Access by doing:

  1. Open the thing you want to save as a web page... for this exercise, a table or query
  2. Use the File/Export menu, select HTML as your file type, and save your web page to your w: drive.
  3. You may want to play with the formatting options, but I won't take off for weird formatting in this homework

Once your Access-inspired web pages are saved, then try and create a link to them in your index.htm file. Explain in your main web page what each of the pages is. Hey, here's my example of this setup: Prof Bill's Web Page Example

Of course, you can make your page much cooler than mine.

good luck... yow, bill
