Solving the crimeDetective Turner would like to thank you for creating the database for him. He has now asked one of his police officers to enter all the suspects' details into the database.
By the end of this tutorial you will be able to:
• Search the database using filters to find the murderer
• Create parameter queries to find specific information

FilteringIn order to find some of the information you need, you will have to filter using two different fields – in this case, to find people who were in the Maths and English departments. To do this you need to use the Advanced Filter function. You can see how to do this by watching advanced filter.

Advanced FilterNow it's your turn. Use the 'Advanced Filter' function to find out who were in the English and Maths departments.
You now need to add the field that you want to search to the grid. The grid should already have the fields 'Shoe Size' and 'Hair Colour'. This is because you have already searched using these fields. Click in the field next to 'Hair Colour' and add the field 'Alibi' to your grid using the dropdown menu.

The murderer has now been arrested and Detective Turner needs to track down witnesses to appear in court. What information do you think he will need? Try to find a specific person by their surname (for example, Hirst). Did it work? What is the best way to get the information Detective Turner needs?
Detective Turner would like you to create a method of searching for people by their surname so that he can find the correct witness details ready for court. You will need to create a parameter query for this.

Parameter queries.. allow you to enter different criteria each time for the same search. So, if you need to be able to find people by surname, then a parameter query is ideal. Watch parameter query .swf to find out how to do this.
Now it's your turn. To create a parameter query that will find people using their surname you will need to include the following fields in your database: 'Surname', 'Forename', 'House number', 'Street', 'Town', 'Telephone number'.Now test that it works by running the query and entering the surname 'Johnson'. Save the query as Surname. This means you will be able to use the query again and again.

Round it up!!As a class, discuss the difference between filtering for information and using a query. Which method do you think is better? Would you have been able to find the murderer using a series of queries?
Filters are better at selecting multiple criteria while queries are better at finding objects or people based on one or two different criteria
