NOTE: Assignments 24-30 are created using Microsoft Access. Since Access saves files automatically, after you complete each Access assignment, exit Access and use the Windows Explorer to make a copy of your Access file. Rename the copy as your codename plus assignment number and turn it in electronically. You will need your original files for future assignments.

How to turn your assignments in electronically (copy your file to the homework folder):
  1. Click START, RUN, then type A: and press the ENTER key.
  2. Click START, RUN, then type \\harris and press ENTER key. See a yellow Homework folder.
  3. Close all open windows except Harris computer window and 3˝ Floppy (A) window. If necessary, resize and move open windows so that both windows are visible.
  4. With the RIGHT mouse button, drag your homework file(s) from your 3˝ Floppy (A) to the yellow Homework folder. When the homework folder turns blue it is selected. Once selected, release the mouse button to drop your homework file into the homework folder. You’ll see a pop up window asking if you want to Copy, Move, Create Shortcut, or Cancel. Click COPY.
  5. To verify that your assignment was turned in, double-click the homework folder and look up your assignment alphabetically. If it is not there, re-do step #4 above.
NOTE: All assignments are due upon completion. Please do not wait until the end of the semester to copy all your files. You run the risk of losing your disk, damaging your disk, or erasing your disk. Since copying files is part of the learning experience, you will get practice turning in homework assignments every week during the term. Please do not erase your assignments off your disk until the end of the term. Since a disk can crash, it is very important that we keep at least two copies of every homework assignment file. I'll have a copy and you will have at least one copy - it is wise to keep a backup just in case. If you ever have a problem with your disk, please let me know and I will make you another copy. If I have a problem, I will ask you to send me another copy of your file. See class schedule for the LAST DAY TO TURN in homework - approx. one week prior to Final Exam.
