Lab 2: Creating the Museum Gift Shop Database Problem: The local science museum operates a gift shop that sells science-related items. The gift shop purchases the items from vendors that deal in science-related games, toys, and other merchandise. Currently, the information about the items and the vendors is stored in two Excel workbooks. Each item is assigned to a single vendor, but each vendor may be assigned many items. You are to create a database that will store the item and vendor information. You have already determined that you need two tables, a Vendor table and an Item table, in which to store the information. Note: To complete this assignment, you will be required to use the Data Files. Instructions: Perform the following tasks:
1. Use the Blank desktop database option to create a new database in which to store all objects related to the items for sale. Call the database Lab 2 Museum Gift Shop.
2. Import the Lab 1¦nbsp;Vendor Data Excel workbook into the database. The first row of the workbook contains the column headings. Vendor Code is the primary key for the new table. Assign the name Vendor to the table. Do not save the Import steps.
3. Open the Vendor table in Datasheet view. Change the field size for the Vendor Code field to 2; the field size for the Vendor Name field to 25; and the field size for the Telephone Number field to 12. Assign the caption VC to the Vendor Code field.
4. Import the Lab 1¦nbsp;Item Data Excel workbook into the database. The first row of the workbook contains the column headings. Item Number is the primary key for this table. Assign the name Item to the table. Do not save the Import steps.
5. Open the Item table in Design view. Change the field size for the Item Number field to 4. Change the field size for the Description field to 28. Add the caption Wholesale for the Wholesale Cost field, the caption Retail for the Retail Price field, and the caption VC for the vendor code. The On Hand field should be an Integer field. Be sure that the field size for the Vendor Code in the Item table is identical to the field size for the Vendor Code in the Vendor table. Save the changes to the table and close the table.
6. Open the Item table in Datasheet view and resize the columns to best fit the data. Save the changes to the layout of the table and close the table.
7. Create a query for the Item table. Include the Item Number, Description, Wholesale Cost, Retail Price, and Vendor Code. Save the query as Item Query.
8. Create a simple form for the Item table. Use the name Item for the form.
9. Create the report shown in Figure 18 for the Item table. Do not add any totals. Save the report as Item Status Report.
10. If requested to do so by your instructor, change the telephone number for Atherton Wholesalers to your telephone number.
11. Submit the database in the format specified by your instructor.
12. If you had designed this database, could you have used the field name, Name, for the Vendor Name field name? If not, why not?

In reviewing the worksheet you created, how do you think the company
could obtain a positive result without increasing income or decreasing
expenses?
I believe that by getting a bigger initial investment to provide them with a
bigger bugdet along with strategic spending they can maximize on their
returns. This could be use for staff training or logistical advantages that they
may not have at the moment.
