Select the Oldies

The goal in this next step is to create an Update Query that will mark all of the Movies released before 1990 as "Archived." The best place to start is to make a Select Query and see if it finds the right Movies. When it works we'll save the Select Query as an Update Query.

 

1. Try it: Create a Select Query

Go to Create ->Queries ->Query Design.

You will be prompted by the Show Table. Select a Table: tblMovies.

Click Add and Close the Show/Table Window.

 

Try This, Too: Add Fields

Add these Fields to the QBE Grid:

MovieID, Movie, Year, Archived, Rating, Genre, Stars and RentalPriceID.

 

Yep, And This: Add a Criteria

Select a Field: Year.

Enter a Criteria: <1990

 

When you Run this Query you should find 73 movies that have this Criteria. Keep going...
