Create a database• Open Microsoft Office and create a blank
database• Switch to design view for Table1, save table as
‘tblLearnerInfo’ when prompted
![Page 3: Creating an ALS learner e-tracking system - demo](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110312/55b8a563bb61ebac498b4837/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• Input the following information, taking note of the data types
![Page 4: Creating an ALS learner e-tracking system - demo](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110312/55b8a563bb61ebac498b4837/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Return to datasheet view and enter the following information (or similar)
![Page 5: Creating an ALS learner e-tracking system - demo](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110312/55b8a563bb61ebac498b4837/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Close the table and Create Blank Form• Expand the table to show the field names
![Page 6: Creating an ALS learner e-tracking system - demo](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110312/55b8a563bb61ebac498b4837/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Drag the field names onto the form• Enter Design view and rearrange to view better
![Page 7: Creating an ALS learner e-tracking system - demo](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110312/55b8a563bb61ebac498b4837/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Add a combo box to select learners…• Under Form Design Tools Controls (second
Row) select Combo Box and draw it on the form above the other fields
![Page 8: Creating an ALS learner e-tracking system - demo](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110312/55b8a563bb61ebac498b4837/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The combo box wizard appears…
•Select ‘…get values from table’’
•Select the ‘tblLearnerInfo’
•Make the Selected Fields – ID, Surname, First Name
•Make the order Ascending by Surname (this could be ID depending on your college system)
•Leave column view as Surname/FirstName
•Select ‘Remember value for later use’
•Name the label ‘Select Learner’
•Click Finish
•Finalise position of combo box
•Return to form view and test
![Page 9: Creating an ALS learner e-tracking system - demo](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110312/55b8a563bb61ebac498b4837/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
…erm, nothing much happens…yet.•Return to Design View and bring up the property sheet•On the ‘Other’ tab change the name to ‘cboSelectLearner’
![Page 10: Creating an ALS learner e-tracking system - demo](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110312/55b8a563bb61ebac498b4837/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Then go to ‘Event’ tab and select the ‘After Update’ three dots (…)
• Select ‘Code builder’ from the choices
• This brings up a new screen for VBA coding
![Page 11: Creating an ALS learner e-tracking system - demo](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110312/55b8a563bb61ebac498b4837/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• The code starts like this…
![Page 12: Creating an ALS learner e-tracking system - demo](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110312/55b8a563bb61ebac498b4837/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Make it to this
![Page 13: Creating an ALS learner e-tracking system - demo](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110312/55b8a563bb61ebac498b4837/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Close this code window• Return to Form View on the form in the
database• Retest your Combo Box• It should now update your form when you
select another name • Save the form as ‘frmLearnerInfo’
![Page 14: Creating an ALS learner e-tracking system - demo](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110312/55b8a563bb61ebac498b4837/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Make form appear when the Database Opens
This make your Learner Info form open up automatically•Go to File and Options
![Page 15: Creating an ALS learner e-tracking system - demo](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110312/55b8a563bb61ebac498b4837/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Select Current Database on the left and then choose the form to display
• Click Ok and next time the database opens this form will appear
![Page 16: Creating an ALS learner e-tracking system - demo](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110312/55b8a563bb61ebac498b4837/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Create a Tracking Log• Go to Create Table• Change to design view, save as ‘tblTrackingLog’ and
complete it as follows
• Make sure ID is not the primary key• Close the table and Save Changes
![Page 17: Creating an ALS learner e-tracking system - demo](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110312/55b8a563bb61ebac498b4837/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Make sure the tblTrackingLog is orange on the left objects pane• Go to Create Form• This automatically creates the form using existing fields • Rearrange to suit you by going to design view• Change the Heading to Tracking Log• Save the form as frmTrackingLog and close
![Page 18: Creating an ALS learner e-tracking system - demo](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110312/55b8a563bb61ebac498b4837/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• Go back to the frmLearnerInfo form and add a button
Form Design Tools Design Controls Button
• Draw the button on the screen and the click ‘Cancel’
• Change the text of the button to ‘Create Tracking Log’
• Change the name of the button (under PropertiesOther) to ‘cmdCreateLog’
• It should look something like the following so far…
![Page 19: Creating an ALS learner e-tracking system - demo](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110312/55b8a563bb61ebac498b4837/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
![Page 20: Creating an ALS learner e-tracking system - demo](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110312/55b8a563bb61ebac498b4837/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• Now click on the Event tab in Properties and the On Click three dots (…)
• This will again bring up the choice of options.• We want Code Builder again• A new screen appears and we need the code to read as follows…
![Page 21: Creating an ALS learner e-tracking system - demo](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110312/55b8a563bb61ebac498b4837/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• Test the button and the tracking log form should open and insert some information for the selected learner
• You can then complete the rest of the information for the tracking log
![Page 22: Creating an ALS learner e-tracking system - demo](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110312/55b8a563bb61ebac498b4837/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Review Logs• Add another button to frmLearnerInfo in the
same way as the Create Tracking Log button• Change the text to ‘Review Tracking Log’ and the
name to ‘cmdReviewLog’• Bring up the code window and change the code
to
![Page 23: Creating an ALS learner e-tracking system - demo](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110312/55b8a563bb61ebac498b4837/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• When you click this button the Tracking log should appear but should be un-editable as it has been ‘Archived’
• You can switch between logs using the built in buttons at the bottom of the form
![Page 24: Creating an ALS learner e-tracking system - demo](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110312/55b8a563bb61ebac498b4837/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The journey continues…• This is a really basic version to get you started• There is so much scope for what you can do and
everyone requires a different solution to their needs• This should have hopefully given you a few ideas of the
capabilities of Microsoft Access and how it could be used in your area to make your job easier
• Investigate other things you might want to include • Viewing the logs you’ve created filtering by learner• Sorting by date• User management • Adding other files and document• The list goes on
