Reports

[Guest]

How does one use Access do create a written report concerning a certain
subject? For instance..."Use Microsoft Access · Double-space · Use heading
as indicated at beginning of this document · Follow online instructions to
complete this exercise. · Create a basic database, and then write a brief
report on what you learned; use complete sentences, and if you wish, save the
report in web format. · Minimum number of words - 150 (Click Tools à Word
Count) · Include at least two bulleted items in the report, and experiment to
see if you can create a link or two between the database file and your web
report · Italicize at least one sentence (your choice) ·"

This is an online class. As per my instructor, I am supposed to figure
out how to do this for myself.

Typically, when we answer student questions, we earn the grade. I'm sure
your teacher would agree.

BTW, a report written in the manner described below would be better done in
Word than in Access. OTOH, we are unable to review the complete instructions
so it would be unproductive to even attempt this project the way you have
outlined it below.

Ok. Not to sound ungrateful, but I was simply looking for pointers. I've purchased a book on Access 2003 and did not detail anuthing in relation to what I am asking. I agree that Word is a better option but he insists on it being done in Access. The instructions for the assignment are as I presented them. Nothing more or less was given to us. Thanks for your time.

Your teacher has asked for a /written/ report, created in /Word/.

The writing should be about creating a basic database in Access.
Creating a basic database is what you should write about.
The writing should be done in Word.

Re-reading, I see that the report must be done in Word. (There is no word
count function in the Tools menu in Access, but there is in Word). There
also must be some further instructions as indicated by this quote from your
original message:

"Use heading
as indicated at beginning of this document · Follow online instructions to
complete this exercise."

Essentially, you are being asked to create a simple database, according to
some online instructions, and write a short report about it.
