A good way to study would be to see if you can do one of the other In The Labs (1 or 2 or both) in about 40 minutes time. If you can, you should be ready to take the test and do well on it. --------------------------------------------- HW17: Excel Project 6 Filename(s): "NextDVR Profit Potential Template.xltx", "NextDVR Profit Potential.xlsx", "NextDVR Workspace.xlsw", Due: Monday, 4/19/2010 You need to copy four files from the S:\ drive or from the website. Copy them to your R:\ drive to use for this project. They are NDVR Kansas City Profit Potential.xlsx, NDVR Louisville Profit Potential.xlsx, NDVR Portland Profit Potential.xlsx, and NDVR Company Profit Potential.xlsx. Use these four files to create and save the workspace file on pages EX485-491. No matter what the book says about finding the files and using them, copy them from the S:\ drive to your R:\ drive and use the files in your R:\ drive for this part of the chapter. --------------------------------------------- HW18: Excel Project 6, In the Lab 1, Parts 1 and 2. Filename(s): "Lab 6-1 Part 1 Rings and Things Annual Sales Analysis.xlsx", and "Lab 6-1 Part 2 Rings and Things Annual Sales Analysis.xlsx", Due: Monday, 4/19/2010 Be sure to save all your files on your R:\ drive! This is a detailed and somewhat complicated project, so it will require careful attention and some trial and error. Be sure to save your work often. If you aren't sure you are understanding what the text is asking you to do, I suggest the following steps: 1) Re-read the part you aren't understanding. 2) Look back at your Excel Project 6 workbook and see how you did it there. 3) Go back and re-read the text where it showed how to do it in chapter 6. 4) Your best buddy is page EX491! --------------------------------------------- HW19: Access Project 6 Filename(s): "JSP Recruiters-Chap6Start.accdb" Due: Thurssday, 4/22/2010 Notes: Read these notes before starting the project! I have put a startup file to use for this chapter. It is on the S:\ drive and is named "JSP Recruiters - Chap6Start.accdb". Copy this file to your R:\ drive and this file for all your chapter 6 work. Follow the text carefully and you should not have any problems. If something doesn't seem to work out correctly, delete it and try again! Be sure not to leave out ANY steps ANYwhere! You may have to get through with the project before it really starts to make sense to you. By the time you finish this project and the next In the Lab assignment, you should have a good idea of what it takes to create a menu in Access and what role the macros serve in that process. --------------------------------------------- HW20: Access Project 6, In the Lab 1 Filename(s): "JMS TechWizards-Chap6Start.accdb" Due: Tuesday, 4/27/2010 Notes: Read these notes before starting the project! I have put a startup file to use for this chapter. It is on the S:\ drive and is named "JMS TechWizards-Chap6Start.accdb". Copy this file to your R:\ drive and this file for all your chapter 6 work. Follow the text carefully and you should not have any problems. If something doesn't seem to work out correctly, delete it and try again! Be sure not to leave out ANY steps ANYwhere!
