Put the following steps in the proper order for filling out the QBE grid in Access:

a.  fill out the grid
b.  Add the Table(s)
c.  Plan the QBE grid
d.  Save and name the query

To tackle the question, we first identify that it asks for the proper order of steps for filling out the QBE grid in Access, with four labeled steps: a. fill out the grid, b. Add the Table(s), c. Plan the QBE grid, d. Save and name the query.
Option 1: 'a., b., c., d.' suggests starting with filling the grid before planning the grid or adding tables, which is counterintuitive because you typically need to know what data you will query (which tables to include) and plan the grid layout before entering details. This order tends to be rushed and could lead to mismatches between fields and criteria.
Option 2: 'd., c., a., b.' places saving and naming the query before you have finished configuring the grid or adding the tables, which is illogical in most workflow scenarios. Saving early without a completed plan and without adding the necessary tables risks finalizing an incomplete query.
Option 3: 'c., a., b., d.' begins with planning the QBE grid, which is a sensible first step, but then immediately fills out the grid before adding tables. In Access, you generally need to know which tables to include before populating the grid with fields and criteria, so this sequence could cause you to backtrack when the required tables aren’t present yet.
Option 4: 'c., b., a., d.' starts with planning the QBE grid, then adds the table(s), followed by filling out the grid, and finally saving and naming the query. This flow aligns with a logical data-collection and design process: determine scope (plan), identify sources (tables), specify fields and criteria (fill out the grid), and then finalize by saving and naming the query.
Across these choices, the effectiveness hinges on ensuring the necessary data sources are identified before selecting fields, and that the finalization step occurs after configuration is complete. Misordered steps—such as filling the grid before adding tables or saving too early—tend to create gaps or require backtracking to fix incomplete configurations.
In summary, the option that sequences planning first, then adding tables, then completing the grid, and finally saving, reflects a coherent and typical workflow for building a QBE grid in Access.
