Goals and Objectives

The Beginning Guide to Microsoft Access 2010 introduced the database objects: Tables, Queries, Forms and Reports. These lessons showed a one-to-one relationship. The Movies Form has one Record Source: the Movie Table, tblMovies.

 

The Intermediate Guide to Microsoft Access 2010 demonstrates several methods of representing one-to-many relationships. For example, there are many movies with the same rating, say "PG,"

 

The Advanced Guide to Microsoft Access 2010 creates a link between the customers and the movies: the receipt. The Receipt Form creates a many-to-many relationship. Many customers return many times and rent many movies each time.

 

What Is The Best Approach? These lessons will create the Receipt Form and Receipt Report using Subforms/Subreports. The information will be related by Key data. The Receipt Report will be formatted to fit a small Point of Sale (POS) printer.
