My strategy (which is questionable) is to do 2 cities outside of the main centre of the map where paddington, kingston, lewisham and newham are then go inside the centre and visit two towns in there then back to crawley. This would be used for the first 2 buses.

For the third bus i did the big trip from the top of the map to the bottom of the map because they are long journeys therefore i couldnt put in anymore towns.

The last trip i left guidford which is close to crawley then the other two towns on the south east coast. This proved a good solution becasue southend and canterbury are fairly close to eachother and with guildfore being very close to crawley the journey time was prefect.

Most successful parts of my project

-Good reasearch: the reasearch which i did was from an official site which was an actual database about countries in every area.

-Forms: the forms i made were effective because they ask you for a specific country so that theu dont need to scroll down all the countries in the database.

-Queries

Biggest Problems

-Deleting information accidently

-Some information i could not obtain such as average rainfall for LEDC countries especially as they probably do not record and measure the rainfall they have due to their financial problems.

Main changes along the way

-One main change i made along the way was the colour scheme to my forms i had reviews back saying how bright and inappropriate some of the colours where such as bright yellow.

-Another chnage i made was to include more information in my databse so it made it more complex in displaying more information.

Future big project work

I have basically completed my project just making a few minor touches to it so it can be easily used by the person examining it. I have checked all forms and queries to see if they are functioning correctly which all of them are. I have let my peers use my project and have changed the parts they recommended to change which will hopefully make it a better project. Every blog post which i have done i have completed the requirments i set for me to do in the next few weeks so overall the planning of the project has been very successful.

I have done all what i planned in the last blog post "Soo Far". I have created more forms and queries which link up to tables.

My plan was basically a database about carbon dioxide emmisions and stats, i think i have kept in line with my plan and not led a stray.

The changes i have made from the original ideas is i have had to include more stats and figures because i wouldnt of got a big enough project with just co2 emmisions i think i made the correct decision because it has made my project more professional.

______________________________________________________________________________

Targets:

• Make my database more proffesional
• layout

Positives:

• Good, strong information used in the project
• Forms and query all work effectively

Negatives:

• No need for the presidents name
• Make it more simpler and easier to use with a set of instructions

The bits i have completed so far is i have created some tables in database and have made forms and queries for these tables which i have extended to so when you click on them it asks you what country you want in the eu.

Not really i didnt know the due in time so at this point i was ment to be done and getting feedback but im not close to finishing yet. However i have stuck to my database idea and i think im making a lot of progress on my skills on access.

I have not really made any changes to main idea i have kept my access foundation which i think was the right choice because exel isnt a strong point of mine and wouldnt be able to achieve the mazimum amount of marks for my project. However i was going to do average rainfall but stats have been hard to find on this agenda so i have had to skip this idea and do birth rate and death rate.

Next....Im going to make more tables with forms and querys.
