By Left([txtsurname],1) it means that the database will look at he surname from left to right and show the first letter
For exam is a surname is Smith, the database will show S in the field. Inatead of 1, you ha 3 the database will look from left and find the third letter and display it. In this example it would show 'I'

This is same with Right but the database will look from right to left.
And yeah we will have to create an appen query. I'll post later what it means


Haha string functions are soo fun! They're actually alright but sometimes the syntax takes the mick!

Mmmm 6 tables seem a bit extensive and the mark scheme says that the examiner would most likely accept 4/5 tables... but good idea tho I get what your saying

Has anyone tried out doing a subform? I tried it out but seeing as the data itself (that we got) isn't correct or enough, I can't work anything out for Activity 2 :frown:

Hello could you send me the data files please?


Dude, there are no data files out. Everyone working on the database are just making up the data
Like production you can say wizard of Oz and Hamlet just to test the data

Yeah even I looked at the videos on YouTube and theyre not really helpful to be honest! The guy just talks about relationships but I think once the exam starts he'll go through more hopefully:yep:

Most centres should have received the exam data files today so they can get the systems ready for the exams. In previous years the txt files have leaked so fingers crossed it will this year too! Ha
