Data Entry Fundamentals

Introduction

After creating a table, you (actually the user) can start(s) populating it

with information. Data entry consists of entering data into the database.

To do this, you can use a table or some of the other objects we will

study. Data is entered in a table by typing it into cells. Some fields can

be configured to accept some types of data and reject others. Some

other fields would allow anything. This depends on how the databasefields were setup.

A table's cell holds one particular unit of data. All cells on the same

(vertical) column belong to the same category of information. As reviewed

in the previous lesson, a horizontal range of cells is called a record; and

all cells on this range belong to the same record:

Data Entry on a Table

To perform data entry on a table, you can click a cell under a column header and (or select) a

value. Although a table appears with many rows of cells, when a table is empty with no record,

only the cells just under the column header are accessible. Those cells appear with a light-blue

color. If you click one of those cells, its background becomes white and its borders are orange,

indicating that it is ready:

Another way to indicate an empty record, the field of the most left column is marked with

(New) and its row of records uses the same light-blue color. After typing data into a cell, you

can press Enter or Tab to move the caret to the next cell. In many circumstances you will also

be able to move to the next cell by pressing the right arrow key. Sometimes you can move to

the next record even if the current record is not completed. In this case, you could press thedown arrow key.

When a record has been completed, the background color of its cells changes. The next record

under it has the first cell marked as (New) and its empty cells are in light-blue. The other cells

remain white:

The white cells cannot receive data: if you click them (with the left mouse button), nothing

happens. You can only right-click them to get a context-sensitive menu.

There are three kinds of fields or cells the user will face: a field in which the user can type

data, a field that displays a list as a combo box the user has to select from, and a field that

does not receive input from the user. If you as the user have to select from a list, click the field

that holds the list and select from the combo box. There are two kinds of combo boxes, those

that accept new entries from the user and those that allow only a selection from a preset list.

The classic field allows the user to just type the appropriate data in a field.

After setting the data in a particular field, you can click another cell and type the desired data.The easiest way is to press the right arrow key to move to the next field or the left arrow to

move to the previous field; pressing Enter would work as well. After typing data, if you press

Enter at the end of a record, the caret would move to the beginning of the next record. At

anytime, you can press the up arrow key to move to the same category field of the previous

record. If you press the down arrow key, the same category of the next record would receive

focus.

Record Management in Datasheet View

Record Selection

Record maintenance consists of copying, pasting, or deleting records, etc. Some of theoperations you will perform on one or more records on a table require that the record(s) be

selected first.

To select a row or record in Datasheet View, click the desired row header. To select more than

one record, click and hold your mouse on one of them, then drag to cover the other desired

row or rows. When all desired rows are highlighted, release the mouse. Another technique

used to select more than one row consists of clicking one row that will be at one end, pressing

and holding Shift, and then clicking the row that will be at the other end.

To select all records of a table, you can press Ctrl + A or you can click the button at the

intersection of the column headers and the row headers.

Practical Learning: Selecting Records

From the resources that accompany these lessons, open the Cruise1 database1.

In the Navigation Pane, double-click Cabins: Table to open it2.

To select one record, position the mouse on the box to the left of the third record until the

mouse turns into a right pointing arrow

Record Deletion

If a record is not needed anymore or has become irrelevant in a

table, you can delete it. To do this:

You can click a row header and press Delete

You can right-click a row header and click Delete Record

In both cases, a message box would come up to warn you. If you find

out you were making a mistake, you can click No. If you still want to

delete the record, click Yes.

You can use this same approach to delete more than one record.

Practical Learning: Deleting Records

The Cabins table should still be opened.

To delete a record, right-click the box to the left of the fourth record

Close the table7.

Copying/Pasting Records

If you have a list of records from one table and you want to use those records in another table,

you can copy the records from one table and paste them in another table. You have various

options.

You can copy the values of a column from one table and paste the values in another column.

Both columns should be of the same type. That is, you should not attempt to paste the names

of people in a column of a Boolean type (a Yes/No column that display check boxes). You can

also copy and paste many columns. When selecting the columns, they should be selected in a

range. After selecting and copying, you can paste the values in a range of columns of another

table. The columns from the originating table and the range of columns from the target table

must be of the same type. That is, the first column in each range must be of the same type;

the second column of both ranges must be of the same type, and so on.

You can also copy a whole record or a range of columns. First select the range of records. Then,

either right-click the selection and click Copy, or press Ctrl + C. You can then paste the records

in another table.

Form Creation

Introduction

You will usually not provide tables to the users for data entry. Instead, you will use objects

called forms. A form appears in a view friendlier than that of a table. Here is an example of a

form presented to a user:

For you as the database developer, a form only serves as a relay between the source of data,which can be a table, and the user who looks at it. Of course, in order to have a form in your

application, you must first create it.

When it comes to data of a database, there are two broad types of form: data-unrelated and

data-related.

Unrelated Forms

Although most of the forms you will use in a database are meant to display data from a table,

you can create an independent form whose functionality and behavior do not depend on the

data from a database. Such a form can be used to display other types of information to the

user. The form can be referred to as unrelated.

To create a blank form, on the ribbon, click Create and, in the forms section, click Blank Form.

You would be presented with an empty rectangular object.

Automatic Forms

The other category of form involves those used to display data to the user. Such forms are

primarily made for data entry. Before creating such a form, you must decide where data would

come from. The source object can be a table or other means we will study in future lessons. If

the data of a form will be based on a table, you can specify it, before or while creating the

form.

To easily create a form that would display data, in the Navigation Pane, select the table. In the

ribbon, click Create. In the Forms section, click Form.

Practical Learning: Creating a Form Automatically

The Cruise2 database should still be opened.1.

10/23

In the Navigation Pane, click New Cabins: Tableto select the table

On the ribbon, click Create2.

In the Forms section, click Form3.

The Name of a Form

Like a table, you can create a temporary form to test something and get rid of the form after

use (you do this by not saving the form). As done for a table, if you intend to preserve a form,

you must save it. To save a form:

You can right-click its tab and click Save

You can attempt closing the form. You would be prompted to save the form

If the form was not saved previously, you would be prompted to give it a name. Like every

object of a database, a form must have a name. Microsoft Access is very flexible when it comes

to names of objects. For example, a form can be named D#%bb or 5GM* or anything like

that. As you can imagine, such names are not realistic. For this reason, you should give easily

recognizable names to your form so you would be able to predict what the form is used for. If a

form is based on a table, it may be a good idea to give the same name as the table. If a form is

independent, that is, if it doesn't display data from a table, you can give it a name that reflects

its role in the database.

Practical Learning: Naming a Form

On the form tab, right-click Cabins and click Save1.

Accept the suggested name for the form as New Cabinsand click OK2.

Close the form3.

The From Wizard

For a typical database, a form is used to view, enter, manipulate, and search data. Because

users spend a great deal of their time looking at forms, you should create and make them as

attractive and friendly as possible. Form design can take a long time in database developmentbut Microsoft Access provides quick means to get around. The Form Wizard provides an easy

and fast means of creating a form.

To launch the Form Wizard, on the Ribbon, click Create. In the Forms section, click More

Forms, and click Form Wizard. This would start the wizard. The first page of the Form Wizard

allows you to choose the originating table that will supply the necessary fields in the form.

Once you have selected the object, its corresponding fields display in the Available Fields list

box, you can select all fields or decide which ones you want to include in the form. The 2nd

page of the wizard allows you to select the desired layout of the form. The 3rd page of the

Form Wizard presents the forms designs you can choose from. The 4th page allows you to

name the form.

Practical Learning: Using the Form Wizard

The Cruise2 database should still be opened.

To close the form as a Windows object, click its Close button9.

Data Entry on a Form

Data entry of a database is mainly performed on forms as they provide a friendlier display of

information than tables. Data entry on a form is performed using various types of Windows

controls. On text boxes, the user enters data by typing it. On a combo box, depending on how

the object was configured by the database developer, the user may have to only select an item

from the list. In some other cases, the user may be allowed to enter new data.

After entering or changing data on a control, to move from one field to the next, the surestway is to press Tab. On most occasions, the user can also press Enter. The Enter key may not

move the focus from a text box that allows multiple lines of text. If the user is simply reviewing

data without performing data entry, the keyboards arrow keys can also be used to move

among fields.

Finding and Replacing Data

Editing Data

Editing a value consists of changing it. This can be done on the table or the form (or on a query

as we will learn in Lesson 20). To do this, first locate the value in the field. If you are working

on a table, you can click the value and use the keys (left, right, Home, End, Backspace, or the

Space Bar) to edit the value. If you are working on a form, you can click the label next to afield. This would completely select the corresponding value in the control. You can then press

F2 to position the caret in the control and edit its value. Alternatively, you can click the

control's field and edit the value.

Practical Learning: Editing Data

From the resources that accompany these lessons, open the Ceil Inn2 database1.

In the Navigation Pane, double-click Customers: Table to open it2.

In record number 2, click the empty box under Emergency Name3.

Type Albert Lomeyand press Enter4.

Close the table5.

Click the Emergency Name label and type 301-412-50558.

Close the form9.

Finding Data

Sometimes there will be some regular problems in your database. For

example during data entry, some information could be missing,

mistyped, or entered in the wrong field. These problems would beeasy to locate on a small table or form. If the database grows, values

could become difficult to locate. Fortunately, Microsoft Access

provides many tools you can use to find values and take actions.

To assist you with finding a value in a table or a form, the Home tab of the Ribbon is equipped

with a section named Find:

To start looking for a value, you can click the Find button or you can press Ctrl + F. This

would open the Find and Replace dialog box with the Find tab selected:

The Find and Replace dialog box is modeless, meaning you can access the table or form in the

background while the dialog box is present.

To specify the value to look for, type it in the Find What combo box. If you had previously usedthe dialog box, the Find What combo box keeps track of the previous searches and stores them

in the control. This would allow you to perform a search on a value previously used.

The Look In combo box allows you to select the column where the value should be located. By

default, when the Find and Replace dialog box displays, it selects the column or field that had

focus and puts its name in the Look In combo box. You can look into that column but, if you

want to search the whole table, select its name in the Look In combo box.

The Match combo box allows you to specify how close the match should be. The options are Any

Part of Field, Whole Field (the default), and Start of Field.

The Search combo box allows you to specify the direction to follow. The options are Up, Down,

and All (the default).

After specifying the options, you can click Find Next. After using the Find and Replace dialog

box, to dismiss it, you can click Cancel or press Esc.

Replacing Data

We have seen that you can use the Find and Replace dialog box to simply locate a value.

Instead of just finding it, you may want to replace the found value with an alternate. To assist

you with this, you can use the Replace section of the dialog box. To get it, in the Find section of

the Ribbon, you can click the Replace button or you can press Ctrl + H. This wouldopen the Find and Replace dialog box with the Replace tab selected:

Introduction to Record Printing

Table Printing

The primary function of the table is to provide a means of storing and arranging information of

a database. Nevertheless, you can print data of a table, especially if for example you are in a

hurry and do not have access to another object. You can print data on a table whether the

table is opened or not.

To print a closed table, locate it in the Navigation Pane and click it to select it, then click the

Office Button, position the mouse on Print and select one of the three options. In the same

way, if the table is opened in Datasheet View, click its tab to give it focus, then click the Office

Button -> Print and select to print or to preview.

The Print menu of the Office Button presents three options:

If you click Print, the Print dialog box would be presented to you. It allows you to specify the printer

you want to use. Most of the time, the Name combo box will present the default printer; otherwise,

you can select one:

After specifying the printer, if you are ready to print, you can click OK. To customize the printing job,

you can click Properties. A dialog box, whose contents depend on the selected printer, would come up.

Among the various options you would have is that of specifying the orientation of the paper (Portrait

or Landscape). Again, remember that different printers provide different features. Here is an example

of the Properties of a printer that would allow you to print on both sides of the paper:

1.

20/23

After setting the properties of the printer, you can click OK. Once you are ready to print, you can click

OK on the Print dialog box to send the job to the printer

If you select Quick Print from the Print menu of the Office Button, the print job would be sent directly

to the printer. Microsoft Access would use the default printer that is set in Control Panel and would

use the previous settings that were set on that default printer

2.

If you select Print Preview, Microsoft Access would draw a print job on the screen for you. This allows

you to see what the final job would look like on the paper. The characters on the screen may appear

too small for you. To zoom in, you can click the middle of the window. To zoom out, you can click it

again. Once you are ready to print, on the ribbon and in the Print section, you can click Print. Thiswould send the print job to the printer

Form Printing

Although not part of their primary role, forms provide a quick means of printing data,

especially in the absence of desired reports. There are various issues related to printing forms,

including printing all records or just some of them.

You can print a form without opening it. Once you know the form you would like to print,

locate its name in the Navigation Pane and use the same steps reviewed for a table.

When a form is opened, you have the option of printing all of its records or the selected one.

In the Form View, to print just one record, navigate to the record you would like to print, click

the Form Selection bar to select the record and proceed to print.

Reports Fundamentals

The Report Wizard

A report provides an object used to print a database's records. Although you can print tables

or forms, reports are customized to be printer friendly. They can perform and display

calculations. Once again, Microsoft Access provides wizards to quickly create reports.

Microsoft Access can help you quickly create a report using one of the pre-designed layouts.

This is done using the Report Wizard. The Report Wizard is available from the Reports section

of the Create category of the ribbon.

Report Printing

The report is the favorite object used to print data. As done with the other objects, you can

print a report whether it is opened or not. Before printing a report, you must first select or

open it. If you want to print a report without opening it, in the Navigation Pane, locate the

desired report and click it to select it. Then, proceed from the Office Button as we reviewed for

the table and the form. In the same way, you can first open the report from the Navigation

Pane and use the Print menu from the Office Button the same way we described for the other

objects.
