1. You have been asked by the owner of a pre-owned car dealership to set up a way to track the cars in his inventory. He often needs to search his records for specific makes and models or cars made in certain years. He also wants to be able to generate reports based on his sales and reports on which sales representatives are doing the most business.
2. Create a new Access database and set up a table named Sales Rep. Be sure to create attributes, set a primary key, select data types, and add descriptions as necessary. Use the following information:
Rep Number Last Name First Name Address City State ZIP Phone
1 Perry Jim 3453 E. State Jacksonville FL 32231 904-555-4353
2 Bauer Evan 5347 W. Grand Jacksonville FL 32232 904-555-3423
3 Dickens Billy 2351 S. Ferguson Jacksonville FL 32232 904-555-5632
3. Create a table named Inventory using the instructions above. Use the data shown below, with the following guidelines:
