Creating your first query with a wizard Creating a query with a wizard is pretty easy stuff. You simply answer a few prompts and in a very few moments you have a new query that’s ready to use. To create a query by using a wizard, follow these steps: 1. Open the Access database in which you want to create a new query. 2. Click Queries in the Objects list. The Objects list is along the left side of the database window. A list of queries appears, as shown in Figure 2-9. In this example I have several existing queries, but your list may be empty except for the two create query items at the top of the list.

The reason for this is pretty straightforward — you need to be working in the Query editor (otherwise known as Query Design view) in order to specify criteria. Until you specify criteria, your queries don’t really do any record selection; they return all the records from the source table. Getting to know the Design view You have already seen most of the important elements that you use in Design view, but now it’s time for a more formal introduction. Figure 2-15 identifies the Query Design view objects that you will use most often.

Click the Run button or choose Query➪Run to run the query. Figure 2-18 shows the results of running the query shown in Figure 2-17. 41 42 Part I: Accessing Both Ends: Getting Data In and Info Out Figure 2-17: The completed query is now ready to run. Figure 2-18: The completed query displays the results when it is run. 12. If you want to save your query for future use, click the Save button. The Save As dialog box appears, where you can enter a filename and click OK to save the query. If you don’t save the query, Access prompts you to do so when you attempt to close the query.
