Based on your Inventory table, use the Query Wizard to create a simple query. Add the Part, Cabinet Location, and Quantity in Stock fields (in that order). Keep the default name of Inventory Query, click Finish to display the query results, and then close the query.
Based on your Vendors table, use the Form tool to create a form for the table. Save the form as Vendor Form, display the form in Form view, and then close the form.
Based on your Inventory table, use the Report tool to create a report. Delete the Vendor ID and Price fields from the report. Save the report as Inventory Report.
Sort the Part field in ascending order. Set the width of the Part and Cabinet Location fields to 2 inches. Delete the page number from the report, save the report, and then close the report.
Close all database objects, close the database, and then exit Access. Submit the database as directed.
