My project is based on a video shop called CC Videos who are located in South Leicester. This shop is owned and run by Mr Card and his wife who are successfully running this business. Although business is fairly good, he has a few problems with his procedure of renting videos. After observation, I found out why. Mr Card’s business is run on paper. He does not have a computerised system in his shop and all work is done on several books. He has three books. One book has records of all the videos that go out to his customers. The second book details all reservations for videos, and his third book has all the currant stock details. Mr Card has found on many occasions that he mixes up accounts and therefore this causes problems within his working environment. He has also found on occasions that video cassettes that are overdue go amiss and extra payment which occurs are not paid. We look at further problems in detail later on.
After much consideration Mr Card agreed that a computerised system would greatly benefit his business.
The user of this system will be Mr. C. Card who owns and runs “C.C Videos” which rents video cassettes
The Microsoft Access one-file system provides a simple way to make backups. Instead of backing up several to hundreds of data files, only one single file needs to be backed up. Depending on the size of your database and location of your backup medium, this can be as easy as copying and pasting the file to another drive.
