According to the solution, the field values for Gender should be Male or Female (in that order). Also, the message should be shown when entering an invalid Gender Value. Give the table a name when asked about data integrity rule: Switch to Datasheet View and test the field validation rule for the Gender field, making sure any tested field values are the same as they were before your test. (Hint: You can confirm this by retyping the correct value and pressing the Esc key.) Close the tab. Create a crosstab query based on the tblEmployee table with the following options: Use Unique Employee field values for the headings in the Title field as the column headings. Use the sum of MonthlySalary field values as the summarized value. Include sums. Save the query using qryMonthlySalaryByTitle as the name. Run the query, then save and close it. Save and close any open objects in your database. Compact and repair your database, close it, and then exit Access. Follow the directions on the SAM website to submit your completed project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Correct Answer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step-by-step Implementation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Open the Database and Locate the Table:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open the database file.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open the <code>tbClient<\/code> table in <strong>Design View<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Set the Field Validation Rule:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Locate the <strong>Gender<\/strong> field in the <code>tbClient<\/code> table.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the <strong>Field Properties<\/strong> pane at the bottom, set:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Validation Rule<\/strong>:<br><code>\"Male\" Or \"Female\"<\/code><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Validation Text<\/strong>:<br><code>Please enter either Male or Female.<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Name the Data Integrity Rule:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>When prompted, name the rule:<br><code>GenderValidationRule<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Switch to Datasheet View:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Switch to <strong>Datasheet View<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Test the rule by entering an incorrect value like &#8220;M&#8221; or &#8220;Other&#8221; in the Gender field.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You should receive the validation message.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Retype the correct value (e.g. &#8220;Male&#8221;) and press <strong>Esc<\/strong> to cancel the test and preserve original data.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Create a Crosstab Query:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open <strong>Query Wizard<\/strong> > Select <strong>Crosstab Query Wizard<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose the <strong>tblEmployee<\/strong> table.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select <code>Title<\/code> as the field to use for column headings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select <code>MonthlySalary<\/code> as the field to summarize.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose <strong>Sum<\/strong> as the summary function.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Save the query as <code>qryMonthlySalaryByTitle<\/code>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Run, Save, and Close:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Run the query to view results.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Save and close the query.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Finalize:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Save and close all open objects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use <strong>Database Tools<\/strong> > <strong>Compact and Repair Database<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Close Microsoft Access.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submit the completed file on the SAM website.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p> Explanation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This task involves enforcing data integrity and summarizing financial data using queries in Microsoft Access. Data integrity rules ensure consistent and accurate data. In the <code>tbClient<\/code> table, the <code>Gender<\/code> field is validated to accept only \u201cMale\u201d or \u201cFemale\u201d. This rule is set using the <strong>Validation Rule<\/strong> property in Design View. By setting the rule to <code>\"Male\" Or \"Female\"<\/code> and including a clear <strong>Validation Text<\/strong>, users are guided to enter valid values. When invalid data is entered, the message prevents improper entries. Naming the rule as <code>GenderValidationRule<\/code> helps track and manage validation rules across large databases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Switching to Datasheet View allows you to test the rule in action. If an incorrect value is tested, the system prompts for correction. Retyping the original correct value and pressing <strong>Esc<\/strong> ensures data remains unchanged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, a <strong>Crosstab Query<\/strong> is created using the <code>tblEmployee<\/code> table to analyze salary distribution by job title. Crosstab queries summarize data and display it in a matrix format, ideal for reporting. In this case, the <strong>Title<\/strong> field is used as column headings while <strong>MonthlySalary<\/strong> is aggregated using the <strong>Sum<\/strong> function. This provides a quick view of total salary per title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The query is named <code>qryMonthlySalaryByTitle<\/code> and saved. Finally, closing all open objects and running <strong>Compact and Repair<\/strong> ensures optimal performance and prevents corruption. These steps reinforce good database management and reporting practices before submission on the SAM website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"722\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner10-295.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34706\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner10-295.jpeg 722w, https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner10-295-212x300.jpeg 212w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 722px) 100vw, 722px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>View the tbClient table in the Database and then define a field validation rule for the Gender field in the tbClient table.
