Create a simple excel spreadsheet with data to update the database. 1. Create a form (frmUpdateMediaLink) to link the spreadsheet to a table in the database (you can link the spreadsheet manually using the wizard but you will lose 4 points) 2.

If you are going to do this option please indicate in the student comments so I can look for it, make sure you upload the spread sheet with the database There are usually questions on this assignment so here are some answers to commonly asked quesitons and some links at the Bottom… Create a simple excel spreadsheet with data to update the database. >>> This can hold any type of data to be used in this database In MS Access 1. Create a form (frmUpdateMediaLink) to link the spreadsheet to a table in the database (you can link the spreadsheet manually using the wizard but you will lose 4 points) >>> Please Create a FORM to accomplish this step… >>> A Wizard, built into MS Access can accomplish the same task and if you do this, please let me know. 2.Create a form (frmUpdateMedia), write a VBA code to extract the data and display it in a listbox, dropdownbox or any from of grid >>> This is another FORM… >>> VBA CODE is needed to complete this step, I check this by Pressing Control-G and I see your VBA code. >>> This step will take the information in this form and extract it and then populate a listbox, dropdownbox or a grid. 3.Integrate the spreadsheet data into the application. HINT: the spreadsheet can contains any special list such new DVDs, or updated notes. Write a code to update (your inventory table, can be CD list or DVD list) from the list.
