[h=5]Relating Tables with the Drag and Drop Method

It is easy to relate tables from the relationship map:

Select a field name from one table by holding down the left mouse button.
ac07_relationship_map.gif



  • Drag the field name from the one table to the other table in the desired relationship.
  • Drop the first field name onto the field name that you want to relate by releasing the left mouse button.

In the example above, we selected the Book ID field from the Books table, and dragged and dropped it on the Book ID field in the Orders table.


The Edit Relationships dialog box appears.

  • Select the Enforce Referential Integrity option. This option is explained in detail below.


  • Click Create.

[h=5]Understanding Types of Relationships

Access 2007 allows for several different types of relationships. These include:




  • One to One
  • One to Many
  • Many to Many

The relationship type you will come across most frequently, and the one created in our bookstore scenario, is the One to Many relationship.

One to Many





The One to Many relationship means that data for that field will show up a single time in one table, but many times in the related table.



For example, let's look at one of the book titles in our bookstore. The Book ID for that book should appear

only once in the Books table, because that table lists every title that we stock. But it will probably

appear many times in the Orders table, because we hope that it gets ordered by many people many times.




The symbols for the One to Many relationship look like this:

[h=5]Enforcing Referential Integrity



In the Edit Relationships dialog box, an option to Enforce Referential Integrity appears.


You should click Enforce Referential Integrity to make sure that we NEVER have an order for

a book that doesn't appear in our Books table. Selecting this option tells Access to check for

these things when someone is working with your data records.

[h=5]Editing Existing Relationships

Access 2007 allows you to edit relationships that already exist. This can be done using the Edit
R
elationships
command on the Ribbon. However, a much simpler way is to simply double click

on the link that appears in the relationship map. Either method brings up the Edit Relationships

dialog box, where you can change your settings.

[h=3]Challenge!
If you haven't already done so, save the sample Ready2Read database on your own computer.




  • Open the database and establish a relationship between the Books table and the Orders table using the Drag and Drop method.



  • Establish a relationship between the Customers table and the Orders table using the Edit Relationships command on the Ribbon.



  • Edit an established relationship by double-clicking the link.



  • Explore the options and settings in the Edit Relationships dialog box.


  • Move the tables around in the relationship map.

[h=2]Entering and Editing Data in Tables



[h=3]Introduction Access 2007 databases hold the actual data records inside tables. You can add, edit, and delete records directly from these tables. This

lesson will show you how to work in the tables to add new records, as well as how to edit existing records using commands like

Copy and Paste and Find and Replace. It will also discuss the dangers involved in deleting records from a table and the

importance of setting validation rules and other field properties and to ensure that data is valid.

[h=5]Editing Records in Tables

Sometimes it is necessary to edit records in the database. Like with every

other task in Access 2007, this can be done several different ways.

To Edit a Record using Find and Replace:

Click the Find command in the Find group on the Ribbon.

ac07_findcommand.gif


The Find and Replace dialogue box opens.

ac07_findbox.gif



  • Tell Access what to find by typing it into the Find What: area.



  • Type the replace term in the Replace With: area.



  • Tell Access where to look with the Look In: drop down list. Tip--The first choice in, the drop down is the field you were last in in the table.



  • Tell Access what to Match: Any part of the field, the whole field, or just the start of the field.



  • Tell Access how to Search: Up finds records above the cursor, Down finds records below the cursor, and All searches all records.


  • Click on one of the action options:



  • Find Next will find the next instance of the word in the table.


  • Replace will put the new word into the table, overwriting what is currently there.



  • Use Cancel to stop the edit process.


CAUTION: DO NOT use Replace All , as it will overwrite every instance of the Find

term in the table, which can have a serious impact on your data.

To Delete a Record:


  • Select the record that you want to delete. Then, right click and select Delete Record.


  • A dialog box appears, telling you the action can not be undone and asking if you are sure you want to delete the record.

ac07_deleterecord.gif


There may be other records that rely on the record you are trying to delete. DO NOT

delete a record without knowing how it will impact the rest of your database.


ac07_recordnumbers.gif



When you delete a record, that record number is permanently deleted from the database

table. If you delete the last record from a table, and then add a new record, your new

record numbers will appear to be out of sequence.

[h=3]Data Validation
Data Validation is a very important database concept. It is the process by which Access

tests the data that is being entered into the database, to make sure it is in an acceptable, or valid, format.



Imagine that one of your database users has entered an order date of January 4, 2008 in the month/date/year

format, as 01/04/2008. Another user has entered an order placed on that same date in the day/month/year

format, as 04/01/2008. Now, if the database is tracking all sales for the month of January 2008, it may not

show both orders as placed in January, even though both were placed on the same date.



Access 2007 allows you to set field properties and data validation rules, to force the person entering data to follow a specific format.

[h=5]Data Types and Validation Rules
Data Validation begins when data types are set during the process of building tables and fields. For

example, if a field data type had been set to Currency and a text value is entered in that table field

during data entry, Access will not accept an invalid format and will display a validation error, like the one below.



ac07_datatype_mismatch.gif


Data validation is accomplished by setting data validation rules and other field properties for various fields.

[h=5]Setting Data Validation Rules



  • In Design View, highlight the field that requires a validation rule.


  • In the Field Properties section at the bottom half of the window, set your
  • validation rule using the Expression Builder. The expression builder offers common syntax to set up a data validation rule.

  • ac07_validation_rule.gif




ac07_category_rule.gif




Validation rules work most easily with numeric fields. Rules for text fields require you to enclose each

acceptable value inside its own quotation marks, separating them with Or, as seen above.

[h=5]Validation Text

Validation Text is a specialized error message that you can set to have Access tell the person entering data the specific way you would like them to enter it.



To set the Validation Text, enter the error message exactly as you want it to appear to your user in

the row directly beneath the Validation Rule row in the Field Properties section of Design View. For

the validation rule that we set for Category, you would set the validation text like this:


ac07_validation_text_set.gif







The following image shows the resulting error message that the user would see when they have broken the Category validation rule:
