You will also add an Attachment field that will store employee photos. You will then use imported data to enhance a query in the database, create a report, and then export it to a PDF document.

|
3 |
Create a table in the database by importing the downloaded text file named a08c2Titles.txt. Use the first row of the file as field names, TitleID as the primary key, and name the table Titles. Accept all other default options. Do not save the import steps. |

Open the Performance query in Design view (right-click the query in the Navigation Pane and then select Design View). Add the newly imported Titles table to the query window. Drag and drop the Title field over the Performance field in the query design grid so that it is in the third field position. The query will calculate the raises for the employees based on data in the Titles table. |

Create a simple report based on the Performance query. In Layout view, delete the Probation and PercentIncrease fields. Adjust the column widths so that they all fit within the page, but the data is still visible. |

|
14 |
In Design view, move the page numbering control to the left so that its right edge is just inside the 7.5-inch mark on the horizontal ruler. Drag the right edge of the report to the left so that it is just inside the 8-inch mark on the ruler. View the report in Print Preview; the report should consist of five pages. |

Open the Performance query in Design view. Add the newly imported Location table to the query window. Drag and drop the Location field over the LastName field in the query design grid so that it is in the first field position. Sort the records by Location in ascending order. Run, save, and then close the query. Compact and repair the database. |
