Writing Center Tutoring Database

"Kiosk" version (incomplete)

This was the original version of the project. The idea was that students would come into the Writing Center and sign themselves into the system by looking themselves up by their student ID. If their record was found, they would be given the opportunity to review and change their information, then they would be "signed-in." After the tutoring session, the tutor would "sign-out" the student, adding whatever notes she wished about the session.

The database is split: tables reside in the "back end" file, while forms, queries, reports, and modules reside in the "front end," making updates to "front end" object easier without disturbing the "back end" data. Workgroup security is enabled on the project -- the start-up form runs full-screen and displays only those buttons to which the logged in user should have access.

There is still some work to be done on this version before it should be put to use in a working environment. I offer it here as an example for those working on similar projects, but I make no warrants on its function. Sections of borrowed code are attributed to their respective authors in the code modules.

Project files and screenshots can be found below under "Attachments."
