Join Adam Wilbert for an in-depth discussion in this video Challenge: Creating tables, part of Access 2016 Essential Training.
- We've covered a lot of ground so far…so I think we're ready for our first challenge.…In the LandonHotel-ChallengeStart database…go ahead and try creating a new data table…to store a RoomServicesMenu for the Landon Hotel.…Think about some of the information…that would need to be available to the hotel staff…and create the necessary fields and data types…to store the data.…Remember that you're not creating the actual menu,…just the structure of the table that will support…the individual menu items.…If you want to take this challenge a step further…see if you can create another table…that will store orders and establish the relationships…between the guests to the menu items…that they may have ordered.…
I estimate that this challenge…will take less than 10 minutes.…Have fun.…
