Question: Tuesday afternoon finds Anna and Chip having their weekly analysis and design review session. Chip waves toward a large stack of documents that are neatly

Tuesday afternoon finds Anna and Chip having their weekly analysis and design review session. Chip waves toward a large stack of documents that are neatly organized on a large table. “I can’t believe that we’re almost finished with the design of this system,” he remarks. “It’s been a long process, but I’ll bet we’ve obtained enough user feedback to ensure a high-quality system. All that’s left is the design of the data entry procedures, and we’ll be ready to start packaging the specs for the programmers.”

“Yes,” replies Anna, “the end is in sight. Let’s start by examining the design of the input portion of the system.”

3. After speaking with Dot Matricks and Mike Crowe, it has become apparent that the campus codes must be sortable for installing hardware and software, as well as for creating inventory sheets. Use Microsoft Access to modify and print the CAMPUS LOCATION CODES table. The first digit represents the campus location. Values are as follows:

1 Central Campus

2 Waterford Campus

3 Hillside Campus


The next three digits represent buildings in the campus, with the following building codes:

Administration Admissions Environmental Studies 001 010 Geology 002 011 Agricultural Astronomy 003 012 Law 004 013 Libra


Use a combination (your choice) of campus and building codes to build the final table of codes. Include the meaning of the code.

Administration Admissions Environmental Studies 001 010 Geology 002 011 Agricultural Astronomy 003 012 Law 004 013 Library Mathematics 005 Business 014 Chemical Engineering Computer Science Education 006 015 Medicine 007 016 Physics 008 017 Psychology Zoology 009 Engineering 018
