1. Download the three files provided in Canvas.
Ethnic_info.xls, personal_data.xls and phone_info.xls
2. Create a new MS Access Database. Name the database “PID_msproject” where “PID” is your
PantherID. If your PID is 1234567 then the database name will be “1234567_msproject”.
3. Import the three files into MS Access and name the tables the same names as the file names.
Validate that each emplid key is of type “Short Text”.
You do that by right clicking on the table and selecting “Design View
Then checking on the Data Type as shown below.
4. Create the following queries:
a. Query_Ethnic_Info ( Join personal_data with ethnic_info – Inner Join)
b. Query_Phone_Info ( Join personal_data with phone_info – Inner Join)
c. Query_All_EE_Phone_Info ( Join personal_data with phone_info – Outer Join)
Useful video on how to do an inner join and outer join.
At this point you show have the following in your database:
5. Export Queries to Excel.
