CREATING QUERIES, FORMS AND REPORTS

CREATING A QUERY
A query selects some of the fields from the table to display or print rather than viewing all fields in a table data sheet.

Follow the steps to create a Query using the simple Query Wizard :

Step 1 : Open the database.
Step 2 : Click the create tab.
Step 3 : Click the Query wizard button in the                      other group.
Step 4 : The new Query dialog box appears. At                    the new Query dialog box , with the                         simple Query wizard already selected in                 the list box click OK.
Step 5 : The Simple Query Wizard dialog box                      appears on the screen . At the first                            Simple Query wizard dialog box choose                  the table . You will see the available list                  of fields existed in the table in the                             available fields list box .
Step 6 : Click the Add Field button > to move                         from table/Query text box to Available                   Fields list box.
Step 7 : Choose the fields that you wish to                            display in the query results database .                     For this, first select the field and then                     press Add field button to move the field                 to the selected fields list  box.
Step 8 : Fields from more than one table can be                  taken to add in the query results                              data sheet. After making the selections                    and moving the required fields to the                      selected Fields list box , go to the                              Tables/Queries text box again and click                  the drop-down arrow situated on its                        right . As you select another table , the                    fields of this new selected table appear                  in the Available Fields list box.
Step 9 : Double-click the field in the Available                      Fields list box . Double-clicking a field                    name is another  way to move a field to                  the selected fields list box.

Step 11 : At the second Simple Query wizard                         dialog box , you will see a question                           would you like a detail or summary                         query ?
