Creating Queries in MS Access

Example 1: For this task, let’s continue working with the Employee table we have used

before. Let us suppose that we need the data of our employees with their first name,
last name and their salaries which are higher than 3500$.

Pinpoint Employees who earn more than $3500

Identify FirstName, LastName, StartSalary

Locate tblEmployee (EmployeeID, FirstName, LastName)

tblHRData (StartSalary)
Determine StartSalary>$3500

1. Click on the Query Design option from the create
tab.
2. A new window will open with the name of Show

Table.

3. Select and add tbleEmployee and tblHRData.
4. For the first column select the employee’s first
name.

5. In the second column select employee’s last

name.
6. In the third column select StartSalary.
7. We can get the data from both tables accurately

as both table’s EmployeeID fields are related to

each other using PK and FK.
8. After selecting the fields for a query, you can see
the name of fields and other options for Sort and

setting a criterion.

9. Select the Ascending option from the first column
(FirstName).
