6. Open the Employees table and make the following changes. You may work in Datasheet view or Design

view as appropriate.

a. Move the LastName field so it appears before the FirstName field. Hint: Make the change in Design

view so the change is applied to the underlying structure of the table.

b. Add the Phone Quick Start fields between the FirstName and Position fields.

c. Modify the Position field to use a lookup list with the following values: Supervisor,

Greenhouse Tech 1, and Greenhouse Tech 2. Hint: Use the Lookup Wizard to

create the lookup list and enter the values yourself. Double-click the right border of the Col1 column

in the wizard to AutoFit the column to the data.

d. Save and close the table.

7. Open the MaintenanceLog table and make the following changes:

field in the MaintenanceLog table. Enforce referential integrity.

b. Modify the relationship between the EmployeeID field in the Employees table and the

EmployeeID field in the MaintenanceLog table so any deletions or changes to the EmployeeID in

the Employees table will be carried through to the EmployeeID field in the MaintenanceLog table.

c. Close the Relationships window, saving the layout changes.
